Fallin Sets Sights On History

By BARBARA HOBEROCK World Capitol Bureau Her goal is to be state's second woman in Congress OKLAHOMA CITY -- Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin is on the cusp of becoming the second woman to represent Oklahoma in Congress. She defeated Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett last week for the Republican nomination to represent the 5th Congressional District, which includes Oklahoma, Pottawatomie and Seminole counties. U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook, also a Republican, is giving up that seat to run for governor. Fallin got slightly more than 63 percent of the vote Tuesday. Cornett took nearly 37 percent. The three-term lieutenant governor now faces David Hunter, a Democrat, and Matthew Horton Woodson, an independent candidate, in the Nov. 7 general election. Both men are from Oklahoma City. Oklahoma's only woman in Congress was Alice Mary Robertson, a Republican who held the office from 1921 to 1923. "It would be a great honor if I have the opportunity to be selected the second woman," Fallin said. "I take those honors very seriously. I try to be a good example for other women to follow and a good role model for other women." Read more... Keith Gaddie at SoonerPolitics.com looks inside the depth of Fallin's win.
