Republican Dan Newberry Eyes Riley Seat

Republican Dan Newberry of Tulsa has announced he will seek his party's 2008 nomination in Senate District 37, the seat now held by former Republican Senator Nancy Riley (D), who switched parties halfway through her term after she finished third in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor.
Newberry emphasized the importance of bringing businesses to Oklahoma to create new jobs, passing meaningful lawsuit reform, abolishing the state income tax, and protecting the life of the unborn.
Senator Randy Brogden (R-Owasso) introduced Newberry at his announcement and spoke on the importance of having a Republican majority in the State Senate. "Last session, I didn't even get one of my bills heard in committee, let alone on the Senate floor. But this year with the 24-24 split, I have had several bills pass, and the Democrats have learned to work with us instead of walking all over us," he said.
