OK Representative Jim Shaw - Holding Ground

Jim Shaw is a family man who left the private business he created after he sold it. He expected to homestead with his family in rural Lincoln County, but instead, he was thrust into a fight against private wind turbine companies - subsidized with millions in public taxpayer dollars - installing wind turbines across the beautiful rolling Oklahoma hills where he'd made his home.

Rather than sit down and let life happen to him, he and his intrepid wife Danna Jo, decided that he should run for office against an entrenched, powerful, Chair of the House Appropriations Committee who happened to be his local Representative. As happens when citizens get off the sidelines, help came from all quarters across the county to get him elected.

Since his election, Jim's been banned from legislation and treated like a pariah in the Capitol. Truly, how dare he take out a seated Appropriations Chair?

On Friday, Jim will talk with us about his journey so far. Join us live to comment, ask questions and to give him some kudos for just holding his ground for us.
