I recently received several postcards signed by constituents in my House district who are members of local electric cooperatives, including Southeastern, Choctaw and Kiamichi Electric Cooperatives.
The cards say they are signed by voters in my district who rely on their local electric cooperative every day. They are counting on me to protect the policies that allow coops to deliver safe, reliable and affordable electricity to rural Oklahoma.
The postcards say that co-ops power their lives and communities, which is true. The cards were provided by the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives, a statewide advocacy organization comprised of 30 members systems and 27 distribution electric cooperatives (two that are headquartered in Arkansas) and three generation and transmission electric cooperatives (one that is headquartered in Texas).
