Tom and Julie Adelson
|
Cabot Trail relay hero Tom Adelson won the Democratic primary for the State
Senate in Oklahoma on July 27. Tom, who ran in the Wanderer's 2000 edition
at the Cape Breton race, grabbed 52 percent of the vote to defeat Tim Gilpin,
a former assistant state attorney general, for the senate seat in the 33rd
district, which includes Tulsa.
According to published reports, Gilpin poured
$100,000 into the campaign and aired negative ads against Tom. But the Good
Guys prevailed!!
Tom now enters the championship ring against Dewey Bartlett Jr. in the general
election to be held on November 2. The Republican Bartlett is the son of
a former governor and senator from Oklahoma. But Tom, who is a former state
secretary
for health, has demonstrated a record of courage and endurance on the Cabot
Trail that should allow him to emerge victorious.
