Welcome to the home page for the Comanche County, Oklahoma Republican Party Web Site. Here you will find how you can participate in your party's activities, find out how to contact your elected officials, or just find out what is happening with Republican politics in Oklahoma.
In 2002, Comanche County elected it's first ever Republican to the Oklahoma House of Representatives, a body that has been controlled by Democrats virtually since statehood. Rep. Don Armes, District 63, was a first time elected official, and a well known conservative from Faxon.In 2004, Comanche County not only re-elected Don Armes, but also sent him some help in the legislature by electing Republicans Ann Coody to House District 64, a seat recently vacated by Ron Kirby, and Don Barrington to Senate District 31, the seat vacated by Sam Helton. Comanche County has contributed greatly to the successful effort by the Oklahoma Republican Party to gain control of the Oklahoma House of Representatives for the first time since statehood. (Republicans participated briefly in a coalition with Independents in 1922 to control the house, but were not a majority). In addition, Republicans made significant gains in the State Senate and we expect to gain control of that house when term limits require another round of retirements from both House and Senate. In 2006, nine seats in the Oklahoma Senate will be open due to term limits. All of these seats are currently held by Democrats. By hard work and a little luck, the Oklahoma Republican Party hopes to take control of the Senate by capturing several of these seats now held by Democrats. This is a realistic goal that can be accomplished, but we are going to need many volunteers to help get good candidates elected. This could help put Oklahoma back on the right track to attracting new businesses and creating more jobs and greater economic growth in Oklahoma.
