The Senator's Wife
My seat on the sidelines of Oklahoma politics
Category: Election 2010
Inauguration Day, Part II
The show must go on, and it did yesterday as my great state celebrated the historic swearing-in of Oklahoma’s 27th Governor. It was snowing and cold but those in charge of the festivities at the capitol did a marvelous job of moving the event…
Organization
No, I am not organizing my closets, but rather it is organizational day today at the marble palace for my Senator. I have often wondered why the legislature meets on the first Tuesday in January prior to the beginning of a new legislative session…….
Parades
Late last spring and into the summer months I wrote a handful of blog posts that I never published. I am sure I did this intentionally as we were in campaign mode and I was a little paranoid…or protective…. or tired of being in…
More Tales from the Trail…
June 5, 2010 The Senator’s fundraiser was fabulously fun. They always are – but that will never change the fact that I am apprehensive each and every time. I suppose in my eight years of being a Senator’s wife, I have realized that when…
Before the Shellacking
Is that even a word? Shellacking? I first heard it used on election night by CNN reporter, John King as he was enthusiastically describing the political tsunami taking place across the country. It continues to show up in reference to that historic night. Thanks, Mr….
Election Day Photos…

Adrenaline Rush
I love elections. And, I love this photo of the Senator that was taken the day his opponent dropped out of the race. It speaks volumes to me. If the Senator were on the ballot, I would be five pounds thinner, losing hair and…
A Different Perspective
Much is being made out of a comment from a gubernatorial debate last week in Oklahoma where the two candidates running for Governor are female. This election is historic in the sense that one of them will serve as the first female Governor of…
Hilarious
Stumbled upon this today and I think it is absolutely hilarious….and scary…..only because I actually know people like this. Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/v/zQ5cGYBV2TQ?fs=1&hl=en_US
Jari or Mary?
Will it be Jari or Mary? If you live in Oklahoma, you know we have a dynamic and historic race for Governor taking place. The winner will be a woman. The first ever. We also had a gubernatorial debate last night between the…
The Senator’s Wife
I started this blog on a whim thinking it would be fun to write about politics while my husband served in the Oklahoma State Senate. Jury's still out on that...but, having a front row seat on the sideline of Oklahoma politics has been one big adventure.
