Kern, Terrill Draw Opponents; Cargill Guessing Game Continues

Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, whose comments about homosexuals earlier this year touched off a firestorm, today drew an opponent in Ron Marlett, a Democrat from Warr Acres. He had said he thought the past several years about seeking the House seat that covers western Oklahoma City, but Kern's comments — which included her calling homosexuality the biggest threat facing America — gave him the impetus to seek the post.

Former House Speaker Lance Cargill, R-Harrah, who stepped down from the speaker's position earlier this year because of personal tax problems, has said he would seek re-election. He hasn't filed so far. However, he's picked up a Democratic opponent, Dianne Hunter of Edmond. Hunter's husband, Dr. David Hunter, was the Democratic nominee in 2006 for the 5th Congressional District seat.

Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore, the author of the state's immigration law, picked up an opponent today. Troy Green, a Democrat from Oklahoma City, said he filed against Terrill "because it needs to be done."
