An Interview with GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Ernest Istook (Jul 18, 2006)
US Representative Ernest Istook says he’s running for Governor “to help Oklahoma grow.” He claims Brad Henry’s legacy is a bigger state government and fiscal irresponsibility. But Istook’s vision is a stronger private sector, which he says would create more high-paying jobs and lots of opportunities. Among his campaign pledges are plans to cuts taxes, strengthen education and crack down on undocumented immigrants. He’s also been a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and authored legislation in the US Congress to allow prayer in schools, adopt English as an official language and define marriage as between one man and one woman. We speak with Istook about his campaign and his political views (19 minutes).
