Democrats Elect Ivan Holmes Chairman

Oklahoma Democrats today elected Dr. Ivan Holmes as the party's new state chairman. Kitti Asberry was elected vice chair, defeating Rep. Anastasia Pittman. Holmes defeated Norman attorney Ben Odom, who has been vice chairman under outgoing Chair Lisa Pryor. Odom and Pittman ran as a team.

Holmes, a retired journalism professor from Northeastern State University and a former Oklahoma State University Regent, said he wants to build a grassroots effort similar to the campaign he ran successfully for Labor Commissioner Lloyd Fields.
