LLPH-CR today endorsed Jarrin Jackson in the primary for Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District, which is currently held by one of the most hostile members, Rep. Markwayne Mullin, who betrayed his promise to stand by conservative principles and fight for a more limited government.
LLPH-CR stated the following in endorsing Jarrin Jackson,
"We endorsed Rep. Markwayne Mullin in 2012 because he promised to fight wasteful spending and defend our liberty. Since being elected, he has voted for trillion dollar budgets and spending bills, defended wasteful spending from the sheep program to crony capitalist agencies, and recently opposed efforts to limit spying on Americans. Even worst, he was one of the infamous 40+ Republicans to join Nancy Pelosi in giving Democrats control of the House floor to save crony capitalism. He has earned the title of Hostile Member by opposing LLPH-CR on so many critical issues.
Jarrin Jackson is a veteran and a true conservative leader. He will fight for conservative principles and stand up to hostile members from both sides of the aisle. He has earned the endorsements of strong conservatives such as Former Senator Tom Coburn (OK) and our allies at the Madison Project.
We are proud to endorse Jarrin Jackson. We believe he will be a strong conservative leader in D.C. and encourage voters in Oklahoma's 2nd to vote for him on June 28, 2016! Let's send a message to the establishment and all members that we will hold them accountable."

Here's an excerpt:
"It’s a story that never seems to end: well-intentioned Republican runs for Congress in a conservative district, wins, goes to Washington and promptly moves to the Left. Rep. Markwayne Mullin represents Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District and is in his second term, and while he may have started with the best of intentions the voting record he’s amassed during his time in Congress has been less than stellar – especially for someone who represents a deeply Republican district.
Fortunately, conservative voters in OK-2 have a choice on Tuesday, June 28. They can either keep Mullin, who voted to resurrect the Export-Import Bank, a crony capitalist institution that substitutes politically motivated subsidies for market-driven loans, or they can vote for Jarrin Jackson, a proven conservative fighter who wants to shake things up in Washington.
That part about Jackson being a proven fighter is literally true. An Oklahoma native endorsed by former Sen. Tom Coburn (R), Jackson joined the U.S. Army after 9/11 and graduated West Point as an Infantry officer. He spent seven years in the Army serving as a company level officer during two combat deployments to Afghanistan.
The Madison Project, which works to elect members of Congress who are just as conservative as their districts, has endorsed Jackson in his bid to unseat the status quo.
When incumbent Rep. Mullin began to walk-back his previous commitment to serve only three terms, Sen. Coburn, who held himself to self-imposed term limits in both the House and Senate, blasted the move and endorsed Jackson. “My biggest issue is he is not keeping his pledge and his honor,” Coburn told an Oklahoma radio station recently. “When you make a commitment to somebody you are going to do something, and then you start wavering on that commitment, you have no standing with me at all after that. My opinion is, he drank the kool-aid, he loves the position.” (FULL CREDIT to Brian Sikma at The Resurgent)
