You should judge candidates by their actions, not just their words.
In keeping with his campaign motto of “Integrity, Dedication and Passion”, Kevin Crow has withdrawn all of the contributions that he has made to his Roth IRA over his career to help finance his campaign so that he will not have to be beholden to special interests. As Dr. Crow notes, “there are more important things to leave your children than a fortune: honor, integrity, and liberty are three of them.”
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:21
Sacrifice and Public Service
Kevin Crow has spent his entire adult life building his career as an educator. He was recently informed that he has been promoted to the rank of full professor at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma effective fall of 2016. Should Dr. Crow win this race, he will give up his career as a tenured university professor in order to serve as your full-time state senator. This will mean a significant cut in pay. In order to make up for this significant loss of income, Dr. Crow plans on selling his house in Chickasha and relocating either to a mobile home or manufactured home on his wife’s family’s ranch south of Minco.
A personal stake in family farms
As noted above, should Dr. Crow win the race for state senate, he and his family will relocate to his wife’s family’s ranch south of Minco, where is wife plans on helping her father and grandparents maintain their farm. And since, if he should win his race, Dr. Crow will have given up his career as a university professor, one could safely conclude that no politician in the state would have a greater personal interest in preserving family farms than he; for his wife’s family’s farm will be one of the few material legacies that he and his wife can pass on to their children.
Endorsements
Although Kevin Crow never seeks endorsements from current political office holders or special interest groups, in light of his integrity, dedication, and passion he has received the endorsements of a number of grassroots organizations including OCPAC and The Sooner Republican Assembly.
"The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable." James A. Garfield
While some continue to play the traditional political games that undermine the well being of their fellow citizens for the sake of political or monetary gain, Kevin Crow refuses to comprimise his principles no matter the political cost.

Sermons We See
Edgar Guest
"I'd rather see a sermon
than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with me
than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil
and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing,
but example's always clear;
And the best of all preachers
are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action
is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it
if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action,
but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver
may be very wise and true,
But I'd rather get my lessons
by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you
and the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding
how you act and how you live."
