OKFB Ag Fund endorses, supports candidates ahead of June 16 primary election

The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Ag Fund political action committee announced the endorsement and financial support of several state-level candidates ahead of Oklahoma's June 16 primary election.

The state Ag Fund board-a group of Farm Bureau members selected by their representative OKFB districts-met May 26 at the OKFB home office in Oklahoma City to discuss candidate support and endorsement based on feedback gathered from county and districtwide PAC meetings throughout the month of May.

The OKFB Ag Fund supports political candidates who value agriculture and rural Oklahoma. While an endorsement from the Ag Fund is the highest level of support given to a candidate, the committee can also give financial support to candidates using funds donated by OKFB members.
