New Face Enters 5th District GOP Primary
Edmond Republican James Lankford said today he is filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch a bid for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 5th District next year.
Lankford, 41, has been the Director the Falls Creek Oklahoma Youth Camp since 1996. Falls Creek is the largest Christian youth camp in America with over 50,000 students and adults attending camp each summer from across Oklahoma.
"We will establish our campaign committee and begin the process in earnest of fundraising and putting together a strong grassroots organization throughout the Fifth District," Lankford said. He will be leaving his position as Falls Creek director later this month to campaign full-time.
Lankford has also been an adjunct professor at Oklahoma Baptist University and has coordinated mission teams around the world.
He and his wife, Cindy, have two school-age daughters.
