Stump Speech Showcase
If you would like to meet the candidates personally, The Luther Register and the Town of Luther are providing an opportunity with an event called, “Stump Speech Showcase.” All candidates are invited. Candidates from this race, along with candidates for House District 32, Senate District 26, Oklahoma County, state, and federal candidates are urged to attend. The event is described as an old-fashioned “political speaking” for each candidate to deliver their best “stump speech” on stage. The event will feature live music, speeches, food, and popup shopping on Main Street in Luther.
