AFL-CIO endorses Mike Kelly!
Posted Oct 12 at 11 AM
Oklahoma AFL-CIO Gives Rare Early Endorsement to Mike Kelly for State Senate Campaign
(TULSA) – Today, the Oklahoma American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) gave an early endorsement to Mike Kelly, candidate for State Senate 42. It is a rarity for the AFL-CIO to give a candidate an early endorsement, especially over a year away from election day. Mike Kelly, who is running against insurance agent incumbent Senator Cliff Aldridge, said, “I am extremely proud of this endorsement. For over 25 years, I have been an advocate for working families. I have fought for my co-workers at Tinker, my fellow veterans, and most importantly for my kids and grandkids to ensure that they have the quality of life that a strong middle class can provide. When elected to the legislature, I will continue my advocacy for working families and small business in Oklahoma. You cannot have one of those succeed without the other flourishing as well."
Kelly's opponent, Sen. Cliff Aldridge, has recently come under scrutiny for his project as the co-chairman of the Task Force on the Privatization of CompSource Oklahoma. Recently, Sen. Aldridge held a hearing regarding how privatizing workers' compensation would affect insurance rates for small business. Roy Wood, state relations executive with the National Council on Compensation Insurance, testified that 'most likely they would see an increase,' to their rates.

The Tragic Loss of Governor Henry Bellmon
Posted Sep 30 at 9 AM
Today, I join mourners across Oklahoma in remembering Henry Bellmon. He served as a great leader, holding such offices as Governor, party chair, and United States Senator. In addition, he was a decorated veteran, and a loving family man. He was a great Oklahoman that worked hard to improve this state. We should all be as lucky to have lived the life Governor Bellmon led. My prayers and condolences go out to his family.

Privatizing Worker's Compensation
Posted Sep 24 at 11 AM
Mike Kelly's opponent, Sen. Cliff Aldridge- (R) Midwest City, is the "co-chairman of the Task Force on the Privatization of CompSource Oklahoma." This article from the Oklahoman talks about the answer Aldridge got when he asked what effect privatizing worker's compensation would have on rates for small business, "'Most likely they would see an increase,' said Roy Wood, state relations executive with the National Council on Compensation Insurance." The Republicans want to raise the rates that small businesses pay by privatizing worker's compensation. This is not fair to the men and women in this state who work hard to own their own small business. We should encourage the growth of small business, not force them to cough up more money. They are vital to Oklahoma's economy and raising their rates would be a detriment to both the businesses and the state.
