On behalf of the Wagoner County Candidate Information Committee (“CIC”), we would like to welcome you to the 2024 CIC Questionnaire Results webpage.

The establishment of the CIC was approved by members of the Wagoner County Republican Party (“WCRP”) in 2018 at its County Convention. Its purpose is to determine to what extent candidates seeking to represent Wagoner County citizens truly understand and represent the Core Values adopted by the WCRP and codified in our Party Platform. This process is not intended to pick winners or losers among candidates. Rather, it compares candidates’ responses against our Core Values. The written questions are designed to be thought provoking and offer the candidates an opportunity to provide any explanatory comments they may wish to add. This process is done as a public service to Wagoner County voters to assist them in being well-informed when they go to the polls on June 18.

Follow-up interviews were conducted by way of a Zoom call between the candidate and members of the CIC. All interviews are conducted by the same moderator. These interviews were audio recorded, where consent was given by the candidate, and are included in each candidates’ links below.

For a complete copy of the CIC Rules codified in our Bylaws click here.

An objective raw Conservative Index score was derived based on initial responses to the questionnaire and then was adjusted, where appropriate, based on the follow-up interview. The adjusted Conservative Index score below indicates a candidates' response consistency with the Core Values of the WCRP.

During this 2024 Election Cycle there were 15 elective offices up for election. In 5 of those races, the incumbents ran unopposed and were reelected; in the other 2 races the Republican candidates did not draw a Republican opponent but will appear on the November ballot. In the remaining 8 races, there were a total of 21 candidates who were sent Questionnaires; 9 of whom chose to participate in this process. In addition, there were 2 additional candidates whose information appears below by virtue of their having participated in a prior year’s CIC process.

On Thursday, June 6, we will be hosting a Candidate Forum at the NSU Broken Arrow Campus.
(3100 New Orleans St, Broken Arrow, OK) at 7:00 pm. We invite you to attend; come early at 6:15 and meet the candidates in a one-on-one setting. More information can be found by Clicking on this link.

We hope after reviewing this information you will take a moment to quickly respond to a one question survey indicating how you heard about our CIC Questionnaire and results.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and review this information. I hope you will also take a few moments to take a quick tour of our website to see what other information is available.
