In order to receive an endorsement, the candidate must receive a two-thirds supermajority of the members’votes cast at the meeting. This endorsement is also binding on our umbrella organizations, the Oklahoma Republican Assembly(OKRA) and the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA).
Since TARA is the local affiliate of OKRA and NFRA, we are NOT allowed to make endorsements in statewide or federal races. We did, however, allow our members to vote in a straw poll for these offices. The results are:

Tom Coburn 92% Nathan Dahm 67%
Evelyn Rogers 3% Patrick Haworth 6%

You will notice that the straw poll votes don’t always addup to 100%. That is due to undervotes incertain races. If a candidate is not listed, that means that candidate received zero votes.
