DGA Statement on Drew Edmondson’s Primary Victory in Oklahoma

Tonight, Democratic Governors Association Chair Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) released the following statement on former Attorney General Drew Edmondson winning the Democratic nomination for governor in Oklahoma:
“Congratulations to Drew Edmondson for earning the Democratic nomination in Oklahoma,” said Inslee. “A Muskogee native, Navy veteran and Oklahoma’s Attorney General for 16 years, Drew has spent his entire life fighting for the people of Oklahoma. Drew is now the only candidate in this race who will actually give schools, teachers, and students the support they deserve. As governor, Drew will work to expand access to affordable health care and bring transparency back to state government. Oklahomans desperately want to move on from the last disastrous eight years under Mary Fallin, and Drew Edmondson is the right man for the job.”
