Super PACs, PACs, & Lobbyists vs “The People”

Wayne Hill — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:52:25 +0000

If you have followed politics for any time, you have heard “Super PAC” used as a curse word - an excuse and sometimes a business model.

In Oklahoma, with an 80% Republican majority, Super PACs, PACs and lobbyists support incumbents that vote for their agenda and punish those that oppose their agenda which results in bigger government, less accountability, financial tax favor, (corporate welfare), or protection from regulation for them and restrictions for smaller companies. This typically results in less freedom, more taxes or/and larger government. One certainty, political favor is for the high tower crowd or powerfully connected. These offerings favor large corporations, associations, unions, NGOs and special interests. To assure victory for the allied incumbent and, when there is a true conservative opponent, rest assured dark money will find its way into the campaign.

Updated: 2026 Candidate Gold Standard is No Lobbyist Money Pledge

Sandra Crosnoe — Wed, 27 May 2026 07:51:24 +0000

This primary has been the most exciting one I have seen in my twenty years in Oklahoma. Last night I shared my annual picks for the primary on my personal blog here. This year it was easy! We have so many great candidates who have taken the no lobbyist money pledge seriously and have included it on their campaign literature and their flyers. In my opinion, you need to look for the gold standard "No Lobbyist Money" pledge for any candidate in any race - top of the ticket to the bottom of the ticket. I for one want people in office answerable to the constitution and the rights of the people rather than big business and corporate interests trying to buy and influence votes.
