Thompson Names Campaign Co-Chairmen

Rep. Mike Thompson announced today business leaders Larry Nichols, David Rainbolt and Tim Duit will serve as co-chairs in his campaign for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 5th District.

"Known for his hard work and expertise in the transportation, business and energy fields, Mike has emerged as one of the foremost conservative policy experts and pro-business voices in the state House," said Nichols, CEO of Devon Energy. "Mike has the experience, leadership qualities, and values we need in Washington and I am honored to serve as a leader in his campaign."

"Mike’s common-sense, conservative values and positive energy have made him a rising star in the Oklahoma Legislature," said Rainbolt, CEO of BancFirst. "It is those qualities that made him an effective leader in the state House and they will no doubt help him hit the ground running in Washington as our Congressman."

"During his tenure in the Legislature, Mike has fought successfully for tax cuts and called for much needed budget reforms," said Duit, President of TTK Construction. "He is a leader in promoting the pro-growth and pro-business policies that we desperately need in Washington."
A commercial realtor by trade, Thompson was first elected to the State House in 2004 with 69 percent of the vote. He was overwhelmingly reelected in 2006 and 2008.
