Connie Johnson For Oklahoma Governor Interview

Senator Connie Johnson recently retired after serving thirty-three years in the State Senate, representing Oklahoma City’s predominantly African American “Eastside,” where her focus on health, mental health and human services issues that disproportionately affect the economic and social well-being of the poor, minorities, women, children, and people with disabilities was game-changing.

Johnson made Oklahoma history as the first woman and African American to win the US Senate nomination of any major political party.  Her legislative efforts and reproductive health rights advocacy were featured on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show’s “Bro. Choice,” and helped lead to the defeat of Oklahoma’s “Personhood” Bill in 2012. Dial 646 716-5525 and press the 1 button. www.blogtalkradio.com/wfunk
