Nathan Dahm for Congress in Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District
After sitting through the Tulsa 9/12 congressional candidate forum (my live-tweet thread is here), I came to the conclusion that I would be happy to have either Andy Coleman, former District Attorney Tim Harris, or State Senator Nathan Dahm representing us in Washington.

I had been thinking about getting a domain name so our e-mail addresses could be independent of our ISP.
