Governor and State Schools Superintendent candidates discussion and AG forum

Oklahoma City University will host a candidate forum for governor and state schools superintendent candidates. The free event is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. June 16 at the Meinders School of Business.

The forum is sponsored by the Oklahoma Academy, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that encourages public discussions of state policies.

Gubernatorial candidates invited to participate are Lt. Gov. Jari Askins and Attorney General Drew Edmondson — both Democrats, state Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin, R-Oklahoma City, and businessman Roger Jackson, a Republican.

Invited state schools superintendent candidates are Republican Janet Barresi, Democrat Jerry Combrink and state Sen. Susan Paddack, D-Ada.

The Oklahoma City University School of Law will host a forum at 7 p.m. Wednesday for candidates running this year for attorney general.

The free event will be in the Homsey Family Moot Courtroom of Sarkeys Law Center. Republicans Ryan Leonard and Scott Pruitt, and Democrat Jim Priest have been invited to attend. Seating is limited.

Visit the Oklahoma Lawyers Association website at www.oklawyers.org to reserve a seat

Sen Paddack Plan Announcement Superintendent of Public Instruction

Back in March (and June on facebook) I said that Susan Paddack would be making a run for Superintendent of Public Instruction. And on Monday, She will jump in to the race.

Oklahoma State Senator Susan Paddack (D- S13, Ada) will seek the Democratic nomination for superintendent of public instruction next year.

"Please join me in supporting Senator Susan Paddack by attending the official announcement of her candidacy for State Superintendent of Public Instruction 10:00 a.m., Monday, November 9, 2009, Chickasaw Community Center, 700 N. Mississippi." in an announcement that was sent to Paddack supporters via email.

Sen. Paddack was elected in November 2004 as the senator for District 13, which includes Pontotoc, Hughes, portions of Garvin and Coal Counties. She serves as a Democratic Whip.

Prior to her election, the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence employed her for nine years as director of Local Education Foundation Outreach. She's also been employed as a secondary science teacher in middle and junior high schools in Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma and served as an adjunct faculty member for East Central University’s Education Department. She served as a board member for the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence and co-chaired the Fall Forum for Local Education Foundations in 1993 and 1994. She was also on the board of trustees, the executive committee, and chaired the Local Education Foundation Outreach Committee. She was named the Ada Education Association’s 1992 Friend of Education.

She is on the Southern Region Education Board, an organization that studies trends and issues in education, and is a member of the Education Commission of the States and the Southern Legislative Conference.

She is NOT up for re-election next year, so She will not have to give up her senate seat to run.

Is Susan Paddack plan a run for Superintendent of Public Instruction

It look like Oklahoma State Senator Susan Paddack (D- Ada) is planning a run for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

She is not up for re-election next year, so She will not have to give up her senate seat to run.
