Inhofe seeking third full term By Joe Hadsall jhadsall@joplinglobe.com U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is seeking his third full term.

He graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in economics. In addition to service in the Army, he is a businessman who has worked in aviation, real estate and insurance. Inhofe said that if elected, he would focus on improving the economy, increasing border security, developing a national energy policy with a focus on expanded oil and gas exploration, and improving access to affordable health care. Inhofe cited his experience, before Congress and after, as why he should be elected. “While there is still much to accomplish during this Congress, I look forward to securing re-election and continuing my service for Oklahoma,” Inhofe said in an e-mail. “I take great pride in our state and strive every day to honor the trust the people of our great state have placed in me. Oklahomans know where I stand.” n Evelyn Rogers, 55, is a librarian at Tulsa Community College. She has lived in Tulsa for the past 15 years.
