Russell Ready To Enter Senate District 45 Race

UPDATED ~ Retired Army Lt. Colonel Steve Russell, head of "Vets For Victory" and best known for leading the unit in Iraq that captured Saddam Hussein, will enter the Republican primary for the Oklahoma Senate in District 45 soon.

He will join former Oklahoma City Councilman Jerry Foshee and GOP consultant Kyle Loveless in the race. Foshee and Loveless have announced, formed committees and are raising money. Loveless has embarked on a walking tour of the district.

Russell, a graduate of Del City High School, was honored by the Oklahoma Legislature as its first "Veteran of the Week" earlier this year.
The District 45 seat is now held by Republican Kathleen Wilcoxsen, who is term-limited.
