Murphy Files For Commission Seat

Energy attorney and geologist Dana Murphy of Edmond filed as a candidate for the Corporation Commission today.
"Oklahomans are sick and tired of bumper sticker politics, the same politicians saying the same old thing again and again and again. That is why many Oklahomans are becoming increasingly excited about my candidacy for Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner," said Murphy.

"With energy costs continuing to chew a hole through the pocketbook day after day, we must develop Oklahoma resources in new and different ways to provide today and tomorrow’s affordable power" said Murphy.

"This year, more than any other in our recent past, the individual elected to serve the people of Oklahoma on the Corporation Commission must understand the basic Constitutional responsibilities of a Corporation Commissioner and no amount of slick advertising and political catch-phrases can or will disguise that reality," she said.

Murphy, who operates her own oil and gas legal practice, is no stranger to the Corporation Commission. She served almost six years as an administrative law judge at the Commission, hearing over 5,000 cases.
Before becoming an oil and gas attorney, Murphy spent 10 years as a geologist working in the oil patch. A fifth generation Oklahoman, she continues to be actively involved in her family's ranch and farm outside Woodward.
