Democrat Announces In Cargill District

Edmond resident Dianne Hunter has announced that she will seek the Democratic nomination in House District 96 now held by Republican Lance Cargill.

Hunter becomes the second candidate to announce for the seat. Earlier this week, Republican Mike Idleman announced he'll seek the GOP nomination. Cargill has not announced whether he plans to seek reelection.

Hunter was joined by Lt. Governor Jari Askins and Democratic members of the House as she announced her candidacy."It’s time to put someone with integrity back in the House of Representative for the 96th District,” says Hunter. “Hard working citizens of the district pay taxes for Representative Cargill’s salary and it’s unacceptable for him to not pay his taxes on time. The 96th House District deserves and is ready for a change in leadership!”

“Rep. Cargill says he wants to improve the state’s education system, but when he doesn’t pay his property taxes on time, schools in the 96th district are hurt,” says Hunter.

“Rep. Cargill states that he fought to reduce the tax burden on working families, but in fact, he was neglecting his responsibility to pay taxes on time.”
