Oklahoman Endorses Edmondson, Meacham, Garrett, Reneau, Holland

The Oklahoman on Sunday endorsed four Democrats and one Republican seeking statewide office. The newspaper's editorial recommended the reelection of Democrat Attorney General Drew Edmondson, Democrat Superintendent of Public Instruction Sandy Garrett and Republican Labor Commissioner Brenda Reneau. It recommended the election of Democrat State Treasurer Scott Meacham and Democrat Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland. Meachan and Holland were both appointed to office by Governor Brad Henry.

The newspaper sidestepped endorsements in the races for corporation commissioner and auditor and inspector, but gave no reasons for declining to endorse either incumbent Republican Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony or incumbent Democrat Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan. Anthony faces Democrat Cody Graves; McMahan faces Republican Gary Jones.
