 Former Mayor of Edmond Joins Leadership Team Supporting Carly Fiorina

Mayor Patrice Douglas cites Carly’s ability to scale back government bureaucracy and empower American taxpayers

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Today, the former Mayor of Edmond, Patrice Douglas, joins the Oklahoma Leadership Team supporting Carly Fiorina as she runs for president. Douglas joins a team of 10 other Republican leaders in Oklahoma supporting Carly Fiorina: Jill Castilla, Steve Foskin, Linda Haneborg, Ed Lynn, David Ostrowe, Karma Robinson and Hopper Smith and Co-Chairs Secretary of State Chris Benge, State Sen. Stephanie Bice and Linda Huggard. They understand Carly is the conservative outsider with a bold blueprint to take our government back.

 Mayor Patrice Douglas, Edmond:

"As a mayor, a lawyer and a former bank president, I have seen firsthand how excessive regulations hurt Oklahomans.  It's time for an experienced business person to stop our bloated federal bureaucracy, and Carly is that person.  I support Carly because she is a leader with intelligence, with real business experience, and has the lifelong values we conservatives hold dear.  She can strengthen American small businesses, empower American taxpayers and lead us as we take our country back."

 Leadership Team:

Secretary of State Chris Benge, Co-Chair, Tulsa
State Sen. Stephanie Bice, Co-Chair, Edmond
Jill Castilla, President and CEO, Citizens Bank of Edmond, Edmond
Mayor Patrice Douglas, Edmond
Steve Foskin, President, CrossFirst Bank, Oklahoma City
Linda Haneborg, Owner, Linda Haneborg & Associates, Oklahoma City
Linda Huggard, Owner, Broadway Machine, Co-Chair, Oklahoma City
Ed Lynn, Owner, Buffalo Wild Wings Oklahoma, Oklahoma City
David Ostrowe, CEO, 180 Business Solutions, Oklahoma City
Karma Robinson, Vice President of Membership, The State Chamber, Oklahoma City
Hopper Smith, Veteran and former Tulsa State Representative, Tulsa

 Together, these Republicans join a growing group of Americans nationwide who have been moved to support Carly’s candidacy because of her willingness to challenge the status quo and take on the professional political class. They will help build a grassroots network of support in Oklahoma and communicate why Carly’s unique and impressive background is what we need in the next President of the United States. A citizen leader, Carly Fiorina will bring an outsider’s perspective to Washington.
