Hern launches Senate bid for Mullin’s Oklahoma seat 

Rep. Kevin Hern, a Republican Congressman from Oklahoma, has officially announced his run for the U.S. Senate seat in his home state. This decision comes after current Senator Markwayne Mullin was selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last week. Hern, a successful businessman and political newcomer, is the first candidate to declare their bid for the GOP primary election to replace Mullin.

With a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and a deep-rooted commitment to serving his community, Rep. Kevin Hern is the perfect candidate to continue Oklahoma’s conservative legacy in the Senate. Born and raised in Tulsa, Hern understands the concerns and values of his fellow Oklahomans and has a proven track record of delivering results.

Hern’s success in the business world speaks volumes of his leadership skills and ability to make tough decisions. He started his first business at the young age of 17 and has since founded and grown several successful companies. As a self-made millionaire, Hern knows firsthand the struggles and challenges faced by small business owners and will fight to create a better economic environment for all Oklahomans.

In Congress, Hern has been a strong advocate for pro-growth policies, lower taxes, and reduced government regulations. He has consistently voted in favor of initiatives that promote job creation and economic growth, making him a valuable asset to the state’s economy. Additionally, Hern has been a vocal supporter of President Trump’s America First agenda, and his unwavering support for the Second Amendment has earned him the endorsement of the National Rifle Association.

Hern’s strong conservative values also extend to his stance on immigration and border security. With his background in the transportation industry, he understands the importance of a secure border and will work tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of all Americans. With his experience in the private sector, Hern also brings a unique perspective to the table on issues such as healthcare and education, and will strive to find solutions that benefit all Oklahomans.

As a political newcomer, Hern’s clean slate and fresh perspective offer a stark contrast to career politicians. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo and will bring a much-needed outsider’s perspective to the Senate. In a time when the American people are demanding change and accountability in Washington, Hern is the breath of fresh air we need.

Rep. Kevin Hern’s entry into the U.S. Senate race has ignited excitement among conservatives in Oklahoma. His financial resources, combined with his strong grassroots support, make him a formidable candidate in the upcoming primary election. His commitment to conservative values and his dedication to the people of Oklahoma make him the ideal successor to Senator Mullin.

It is time for Oklahoma to send a fresh face to Washington, someone who will put the needs of the state and its people first. Rep. Kevin Hern is that candidate. With his experience, integrity, and unwavering commitment to conservative principles, he is the right choice to represent Oklahoma in the U.S. Senate. Let’s unite behind Hern and support him as he embarks on this journey to bring real change to our state and our country.
