Deskin, Cox Raise Nearly $300K In Primary Runoff
Two Democrats raise close to $300,000 each in Oklahoma state schools superintendent race
by Nolan Clay
The two Democrats still in the race for state schools superintendent took in close to $300,000 each through Aug. 11, their latest campaign reports show.
John Cox and Freda Deskin are on next week’s runoff ballot. The winner will face Republican candidate Joy Hofmeister in November’s general election.
Cox raised $299,746 as of Aug. 11 while Deskin raised $283,654, the reports show. Both spent most of their campaign funds.
Cox, superintendent of Peggs Public Schools, loaned almost $69,000 to his campaign. Deskin, a longtime educator and the founder of ASTEC Charter School in Oklahoma City, loaned her campaign $46,154.
Thanks for sharing! I’m supporting Dr. John Cox! He has over 20 years of experience as a public school superintendent & nearly 30 years as an educator. He also has the support of over 400 public school superintendents in the state!
Don’t forget to vote!
