The Garvin County Democratic Party is hosting a come & go “Meet the Candidate” this evening August 31, 2010 from 6:00 until 8:00 pm at the Landmark Bank Community Room in Wynnewood for Darryl Roberts.
Darryl is our candidate for Senate District 14. Please show up and give your support.
A great crowd turned out for the campaign kickoff for Sheriff Steve Brooks Saturday night at Wacker Park. The enthusiastic crowd was served ice cream, cookies and watermelon. Sheriff Brooks thanked the attendees and promised to run a strong campaign to hold the Sheriff’s office.
Sheriff Brooks has accomplished a lot during his short term. He has updated the jail, improved training of deputies and increased 24 hour patrols.
Stay tuned to this site for updates on how you can help with the campaign. If you would like to get bumper stickers, yard signs or help with this campaign in any way, check out his campaign website.
Two big Democratic events this Saturday in Pauls Valley.
First, we’ll have our “After the Primary Training” at the depot from 10:00 until 11:30.
Then at 7:00 Sheriff Steve Brooks will be holding a campaign kick-off at the band shell. See his note below.
Hey everyone,
I will be having a get together at the Pauls Valley Park, Saturday the 31st at 7:00 pm, by the band shell. Everyone is invited. There will be refreshments. This will be the main kick off to my campaign. I hope you will be able to make it. I have attached a copy of the ad that will be running in the local papers. Further updates will be posted on my facebook, Steve Brooks for Sheriff.
Thanks,
Steve Brooks,
Garvin County Sheriff
Attorney General Drew Edmondson Speaking at the Depot in April
I have to refrain from personal commentary on this site. While I own the domain name and pay the hosting fees, that is my personal donation to the Garvin County Democratic Party and therefore I consider this site the property of the party. Our county Chair has full editorial rights to the content of this site.
That being said, I think Marilyn wouldn’t mind my saying that I think Drew Edmondson is a class act! After the what seems like the most amiable gubernatorial campaign in Oklahoma history, he loses by less than 1500 of the 260,000 votes cast. However, our Honorable Attorney General isn’t looking for a recount but unity and a Democratic victory in November.
It does my heart good to read the following quote from a Yahoo News AP article: “To her credit and mine, this primary has been one on the issues, on the record, clean, positive, straightforward,” Edmondson said. “I think it will be written down in the history books as a testament to both Jari Askins and Drew Edmondson that the Democratic Party comes out of this primary united and unfractured and ready to win this state.”
In the next couple of weeks I’ll be building a page dedicated to educating you about all of the Democratic candidates we will be voting for in November. Check back often or sign up for the email alerts.
With the fear mongering certain commentators and candidates are spewing, many people are very discouraged and feel helpless. Thank goodness we live in a country where we can make a difference. If you haven’t already voted, get out there and help choose our slate for the November election.
July 31 from 10 - 11:30 am we are going to have a special training/workshop on “What To Do After The Primary”. Our time will be spent learning some tools necessary for winning elections. This is when we turn despair to hope as we join together in unity of mind and work to get men and women elected who are more interested in our state and country than in the next election. See you there!
We have had a very active local party and have done a good job offering information regarding candidates and issues to the community. Now it is time we took the next step and built our party’s direct involvement in getting democrats elected. We can do this!
The evening of Stump Speeches was a great success! Even if you didn’t bake cookies, serve ice-cream or set up the room; if you attended you helped make it a success. Candidates will be asking to come to our events as they see the numbers of voters they get to directly reach.
Thanks to Steve Vines, Sharilyn Edlund and Joe Freeland for setting up the room. Thanks to the cookie bakers – Jeanette Richardson, Haley Freeland, Patty Armer, Donna Love and Charmaine Wallace. Thanks to Phil Henderson for the Home made ice cream and to Johnny and Jeanette for serving it. Everyone pitched in to help clean-up; that was Great!

Since I’m going to be out of town next week for work, I voted in the early voting this morning at the Garvin County Court House. That continues Saturday and Monday (see post below for times). It’s really easy and you don’t even have to use your own name! (Just kidding)
Garvin County Democrats made the “Latest News” on the Oklahoma Democratic Party website. Check out the link below.
Early voting starts this Friday in the lobby of the old Garvin County Court House. Below are the hours.
Friday 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Saturday 8:00 am – 1:00 pm
Monday 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Tuesday Polls Open 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
Get out and vote.
Our second look at primary elections is for State Senate District 14. This is the seat that is being vacated by Senator Johnnie Crutchfield. It encompasses Love, Carter, Murray and part of Garvin counties.
This is a primary with two strong candidates with very diverse backgrounds. Please check out their campaign websites for information.

State Rep. Wes Hilliard and State Sen. Susan Paddack high bidders for the blue ribbon peaches
We had a “select” spot with nearby shade that drew large crowds of people trying to keep their peach ice cream from turning into a peach milk shake. Thanks to all those that came out and supported the effort.
