Jari Askins for Governor

When Lt. Governor Jari Askins became the first to announce as a candidate for governor in 2010, she echoed the confidence heard in Oklahoma Rising, Oklahoma’s official centennial song: “We’re Oklahoma risin’, brighter than a star. Stand up and sing about her, let the world know who we are.” To Jari, the inspiring words and music of Oklahoma-born artists Vince Gill and Jimmy Webb present every Oklahoman with a challenge to honor the past while building a better future.
