Focus on the Fifth District: Independent Congressional Candidate Matthew Horton Woodson (Aug 13, 2006)
KGOU continues its series of profiles of the candidates running to replace Ernest Istook in Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District. Along with Democrat Dr. David Hunter and Republicans Mary Fallin and Mick Cornett – who will face off in next Tuesday's runoff election – there’s also an independent in the race. Matthew Horton Woodson says he feels the two, main political parties seem too similar on many issues, and he hopes his campaign will reach independent thinkers and voters in central Oklahoma. He’s calling for an end to the war in Iraq within the next two years, a greater focus on farming and agricultural policies, tax incentives to encourage people to vote and a re-opening of the investigation surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001.
