Dianne Hunter Files for OK House of Representatives District 96
Vows to bring Common Sense back to the 96th District

Edmond, OK – Democratic House District 96 candidate Dianne Hunter made her campaign official yesterday by filing for the Oklahoma State House of Representatives.  The 96th District seat is currently held by Former State House Speaker Lance Cargill.

“The 96th house district is ready for a Representative who will bring a common sense approach to the Capitol,” Hunter said.  “Career politicians like Lance Cargill are not looking out for the interests of Oklahoma citizens.  I have spent my life helping and caring for Oklahomans. I want to bring that into the State Capitol and represent the people of the 96th District.” Hunter says that health care is a major concern facing Oklahomans.  “As Practice Administrator for the Oklahoma City Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, I see firsthand the strain that massive medical bills have placed on families in Oklahoma.  Oklahoma and America are in a major health care crisis! It’s time we stop talking and start doing something about it, that’s why I am running for the State House.”

 “Hard working citizens of the district pay taxes for Representative Cargill’s salary and it’s unacceptable for him to not pay his taxes on time,” says Hunter. “The 96th House District deserves and is ready for a change in leadership!” “Rep. Cargill says he wants to improve the state’s education system, but when he doesn’t pay his property taxes on time, schools in the 96th district are hurt,” says Hunter. According to recent media reports, more than half of the property taxes for Cargill’s law office go to support the Harrah Public Schools.  “Rep. Cargill states that he fought to reduce the tax burden on working families, but in fact, he was neglecting his responsibility to pay taxes on time.”

In 2006, Dianne Hunter was instrumental in her husband’s campaign for the US House of Representatives in the 5th District.  “Oklahomans are the friendliest and most giving people in the world,” Hunter said. “I want to represent and restore power back to the people of Oklahoma in the 96th House District.”
