Confirmed: Brogdon Eyes Governor's Race

Republican Senator Randy Brogdon of Owasso, confirms that he is considering a race for governor next year.
Other potential GOP candidates include Congresswoman Mary Fallin and Congressman Tom Cole. Fallin says she is looking at the race and Cole is known to be considering it as well.

Brogdon, in the Senate since 2002, said he is not satisfied with the existing state leadership.

Brogdon describes himself as a constitutional conservative who believes in protecting life, liberty and property.

He said he will need to raise $1.5 million to $2 million for the race. Previous winners have raised considerably more, but Brogdon said he will have “a grassroots organization like you have never seen before.”

Lt. Governor Jari Askins, Duncan Democrat, has officially announced she's running; Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a Democrat, is considering the race and likely will announce soon.
Others mentioned are U.S. Reps. Mary Fallin and Tom Cole, both Republicans.
