OK-GOV: State's last Democratic governor endorses former Republican Joy Hofmeister
The last Democratic governor of Oklahoma says he sees something of himself in state Superintendent Joy Hofmeister, a lifelong Republican with hopes of becoming Oklahoma's next Democratic governor.
"Joy is a lot like me, I think," former Gov. Brad Henry said Wednesday. "She doesn't fit nicely into any party. There ought to be a 'moderate-who-listens-to-everyone' party."
Henry said he believes Hofmeister is a results-oriented leader who listens to all sides and tries to be collaborative.
"I think people are really sick and tired of hyper-partisanship," he said.
Like Henry in 2002, Hofmeister will be a long shot in the 2022 gubernatorial race. Unlike Henry two decades ago, she's up against a well-financed incumbent with solid polling numbers.
