OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - U.S. House Speaker John
Boehner has selected a congressional candidate from Oklahoma to deliver
the Weekly Republican Radio Address.
Boehner said in a statement
Thursday that he's selected Republican Markwayne Mullin to deliver
Saturday's address in response to the president's weekly address.
Boehner said that - as a small business owner - Mullin understands the
need to shut down the "jobs-destroying red tape factory in Washington,
D.C."
Mullin is a plumber from
Westville who faces Democrat Rob Wallace of Fort Gibson for the 2nd
Congressional District seat that stretches across 26 counties in eastern
Oklahoma. Mullin, Wallace and independent Michael Fulks of Heavener are
seeking to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Dan Boren.
Boren - the only Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegation - announced last summer he wouldn't run for re-election.
