The CRNA blog is your source for all information relating to the 2010 elections. Candidates for state, federal, legislative and judicial seats are all set. The primary election is coming July 27th. The last day to register to vote before the primary is Friday July 2nd. Many members of the class that will make up the 2011 legislature faced no challengers and will be seated after the November election. It’s critical that the new legislature knows more about our profession than their predecessors so that the half-truths and inaccuracies we battled so frequently in 2010 are no longer welcome at the State Capitol.
We urge you to seek out those candidates in your area of the state and have a visit before the primary. There are still a lot of forces that would like to cripple our profession without regard to the ensuing harm they would do to Oklahoma patients. So it’s up to us to make sure that informed Oklahomans will be serving in the 2011 legislature.
Right now the focus is on the July 27th primary: for the next few days, we’ll be posting about the races that will command the voters’ attention come the 27th. Take a look at those races, and if they are in your area, make sure you get involved. Knowledge is power, and a little time spent before the election could just win us more and better friends in the 2011 legislature.
