Congressional District 1 candidate John Croisant believes Oklahoma Democrats have something they haven’t enjoyed in years: multiple races they can realistically win.

Croisant joins Oklahoma Memo’s Ryan Welton to discuss what the narrow Republican gubernatorial runoff revealed about the state’s electorate, why Democratic candidates are coordinating their campaigns, and how face-to-face organizing could reach voters who feel overlooked by traditional political campaigns.

He also criticizes candidates who pour millions of dollars into their own campaigns, arguing that self-funding can create new questions about influence after the election.

Other topics include:

• America’s response to catastrophic flooding in Nepal
• Cyndi Munson’s campaign for governor
• Jasmine Thomas and Oklahoma’s U.S. Senate race
• The Oklahoma Republican Party’s primary endorsements
• Political disengagement and low voter turnout
• President Trump’s trade war with Canada
• Beef imports and pressure on Oklahoma agricultural producers
• Immigration enforcement and its effect on farms
• Affordability, education and rural health care
