Endorsements
“Christi Gillespie is a proven, conservative leader with the courage to stand up and make tough choices. When covid hit, Christi was a voice of reason as Vice Mayor of Broken Arrow. They didn’t shut the city down, they stayed open due to her leadership and the city thrived. They’ve added jobs, kept crime down, and brought in new businesses during her time as Vice Mayor without raising your taxes. It’s why Broken is thriving. We need more conservatives in Oklahoma City that will have her vision, courage and principals. It’s why I’m giving her my full endorsement as she runs for state senate.”
