McAffrey opponent a no-show…again!

Steve Russell, Republican candidate for Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional district, dodged another debate. Earlier this week Mr. Russell's campaign confirmed his attendance at a debate in Shawnee, Oklahoma, at the Living Love Christian Center. Yet, when it came time to start the forum. Steve Russell was missing..., this coming on the heels of missing a Chamber sponsored debate in Del City.

Instead of showing up like he said he would, in a post to his Facebook page Russell says, "Will be speaking and signing books in Fort Wayne, Indiana."

If someone making $38,000 didn't show up for an interview...they wouldn't get the job. Russell missed 770 votes while serving one term as a State Senator--and the taxpayers paid for it. This guy is out of touch with folks who struggle to make a living," stated Wallace Collins, Oklahoma Democratic Party (ODP) Chair. "My goodness, he simply cares more about money and special interests than the people of Oklahoma."
