TULSA, OK – The Green Party of Oklahoma endorsed J. M. Branum’s independent candidacy for House District #99 at its 5th annual state convention on August 19th.

The convention was held in Tulsa and was attended by party members from Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Porum, Ft. Gibson, and Norman. The state party’s endorsement decision followed the Oklahoma County Green party’s decision to endorse Branum at their August 13th meeting.

Joni Leviness, convention participant from Tulsa, said about Branum’s campaign, “I support him because his campaign issues are true issues he cares about and are not just campaign slogans. I know that Oklahoma would be well-represented by him.”
