'The Shorthorn Bull Pen' Episode 1 - Frank Lucas, US Representative from Oklahoma

Published | Video Starts at 02:40

So how long have you been a US representative I went to Congress in 1994, the special election in May, and it was an example of the nature of rural America. At that time, 40% of the district lived in Oklahoma City, and the other 60% of the district was scattered out over 23 other counties in northwest Oklahoma. On primary, on special election day, got about 54% of the vote. But the difference, Monty, was in the urban area where I lost. They had an 8% turnout in the rural areas. (02:40–02:50)
