Speaker 2: He actually ran for Congressional District number two, which now
Speaker 2: Josh Bourkeem. Yeah, well there's like thirty people running for that.
Speaker 6: It seemed like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to do the forums. It felt like thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but he made an impression on a lot of people
Speaker 3: during that run.
Speaker 4: He did. He visited Bartellsville frequently.
Speaker 6: He did, and for other reasons as well.
Speaker 5: He's been in Bartlesville and I'm trying to remem if
Speaker 5: he's actually been to one of our ROC meetings before,
Speaker 5: maybe as a guest.
Speaker 6: He's been in and out quite a bit. But for
Speaker 6: those who don't know why snow fire, he is a
Speaker 6: former heavyweight professional boxer that only lost two times in
Speaker 6: his career.
Speaker 3: I think he was ranked in the top ten at
Speaker 3: one time.
Speaker 6: I believe you're correct on that, Tom.
Speaker 5: And he's tall and stature, kind of a gentle giant.
Speaker 3: But I don't think.
Speaker 6: I'd want a box with no No.
Speaker 3: Got a heart of gold in a pistol buyern.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And so he was appointed by Governor Stidt a year
Speaker 5: ago this month actually to serve in that position, and
Speaker 5: prior to that, he was on the Cherokee Nation Tribal
Speaker 5: Council from twenty nineteen through twenty twenty three. So he
Speaker 5: has a lot of obviously history he's a Cherokee himself, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and a lot of history of relationship with the various
Speaker 5: tribes throughout Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: This is going to be interesting.
Speaker 2: So I'd like to see a lot of folks that
Speaker 2: show up here that normally maybe wouldn't. Absolutely, just because
Speaker 2: it is always open to everyone.
Speaker 6: It is anybody can come to this, and we encourage that.
Speaker 5: So even though we say Republican and other conservatives, not
Speaker 5: everybody who comes has to be a conservative or a Republican.
Speaker 3: And they do show up.
