FROM GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE
James Lankford is exactly the kind of leader that is urgently needed in the United States Congress. In this race, James uniquely shares my sincere desire to see a conservative transformation in American politics. The much-needed change in direction will happen only when we send people to Washington, DC, who live their Christian convictions and have effectively served people in the private sector, rather than working in politics for decades. I’m convinced that James has the leadership, integrity, and tenacious work ethic to be a game-changer in Washington, DC. As the director for well over a decade of Falls Creek, the largest Christian camp in America, James knows how to lead people, manage a budget, and administer a large organization. James Lankford is a gifted communicator who will go to Congress as a statesman, not a politician, to work for the right kind of change in our government. James shares my commitment to common-sense solutions that are needed for strong national defense, real border security, less government control, domestic energy solutions, lower tax rates, defending human life, and more individual liberty. Congress will benefit from a strong dose of the solidly conservative Oklahoma spirit and deeply patriotic American passion that James brings to the political arena.
FROM J.C. WATTS
I personally believe this is the moment we must send someone to Congress who will represent the ideals and values of Oklahomans. James Lankford shares my Christian principles and my commitment and passion for reform in Congress. I am convinced James Lankford is cut from the same cloth as men like Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint. I trust James to go to Washington and work hard to restore wisdom, values, and common sense to our government. His experience in the private sector as the director of Falls Creek (the largest Christian youth camp in America) proves he has the business leadership skills, work ethic, and moral commitment needed for the task. He is uniquely qualified to lead during this critical season in our nation’s history. I am honored to endorse James Lankford in the 5th Congressional District. Please join me in supporting a fresh voice in a year when we desperately need fresh convictions concerning conservative perspectives.
