“Our movement continues to draw new Oklahomans in to the campaign process and is growing the Republican party,” said Kevin Stitt. “I am proud that our donations are coming from individual people – entrepreneurs, grandparents, teachers, farmers, construction workers, and everyday Oklahomans! It is going to take all of us working together to start Oklahoma’s turnaround and to end politics as usual. I am honored by the outpouring of support that allows this to be a front runner race focused on making Oklahoma a Top Ten state.”

Stitt has matched all campaign donations to date. His approach to match contributions demonstrates his conviction to be a committed leader for Oklahoma while also holding fast to his belief that true success will ultimately come by partnering hand-in-hand with Oklahomans to bring new ideas to state government.
