Oklahoma Race for State Insurance Commissioner Gets Underway

Doak is a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit against “Obama Care” and is an advocate of implementing health care solutions at the state level.

“The full focus can now turn to the differences between me and the Democratic candidate, Kim Holland, who was a 2008 Oklahoma delegate for Barack Obama,” Doak said. “I have bipartisan support across the state. And Oklahomans will have a clear choice to make in November.”

In defending her performance, Holland said through her campaign team that, “Insurance regulation is serious business that affects every family and every business in Oklahoma.”

She added: “I’m proud of the work we have done to clean up an office after decades of controversy and corruption. Integrity has been restored to the office and the Oklahoma Insurance Department is held in high regard in our state and across the nation.

“Regulating with integrity requires that I maintain an independent stance principled on facts, not politics,” she said. “That is why I successfully sued the state to prevent a tax on health insurance. I am committed to continuing my work as the people’s trusted watchdog and advocate.”
