Political stunt won't change Fallin being out of touch, says ODP chair
Oklahoma City, OK - It's too little too late for Mary Fallin to start working for Oklahoma, Oklahoma Democratic Party Chair Todd Goodman said today in response to Fallin's newly launched "Working across Oklahoma" rally and campaign tour.
"If Mary Fallin thinks that a political stunt can make us forget that she's a 20-year career politician, then she is woefully out of touch with everyday Oklahomans," stated Goodman.
Fallin today announced that she would be working at various jobs across the state over the next few weeks, ostensibly to find out what real Oklahomans who have to work for a living experience every day.
Goodman stated that this weak political stunt cheapens the hard work Oklahomans put in to get by.
"A few hours here and there for a photo shoot isn't going to make Mary Fallin any less out-of-touch with hard-working Oklahomans," he said. "She's been taking a government paycheck since 1990, while accomplishing next to nothing for her constituents.
"Maybe it's time for Mary Fallin to stop pretending to do other people's jobs and start doing her own."
Goodman cited Roll Call's latest Congressional Power Rankings, which placed Mary Fallin as the 418th most effective House member out of a body of 435.
"She can pretend all she wants that she knows what Oklahomans are going through. But even she knows this is all for show. Even she knows that she's a career politician, and I don't know how she thinks Oklahomans won't see right through this cheap political stunt."
