OCA retracts gubernatorial endorsement 

The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) on Jan. 21 rescinded and voided its earlier political endorsement of Attorney General Gentner Drummond for governor of Oklahoma. 

“OCA has significant concerns regarding subsequent actions taken by the Office of the Attorney General, including watershed-based regulatory and litigation strategies that directly impact cattle operations across Oklahoma,” the group said. 

 OCA also adopted new policy that states the group shall not officially endorse any candidates for any political position or office on the local, state or national levels.  

“OCA will continue to engage constructively with elected officials and candidates at all levels of government while advocating for science-based policy, regulatory certainty, and the protection of private property rights critical to Oklahoma agriculture,” the group said.
