Jeff Cloud begins fundraising for OK-5

Republican Corporation Commissioner Jeff Cloud says he plans to raise contributions for a campaign for OK-5.

Cloud said Thursday he has formed a committee to begin soliciting campaign contributions. The seat is currently held by Rep. Mary Fallin.

Cloud, of Oklahoma City, says his campaign is only a few days old. But he says he's excited by the support and encouragement he's received.

Twice elected statewide, Cloud has a record of public service. He served as a staff member to the late former Gov. Henry Bellmon, former U.S. Reps. J.C. Watts and Mickey Edwards and former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys.
