  1. Webber-Neal, who does not have the best reputation among local politicos, indicates the party has pledges of up to $160K for filing fees for candidates if the party does make it on to the ballot. Oklahoma has high candidate filing fees, but not that high. If they had a candidate for every federal and state office on the ballot they would only need about $85K and of course they don’t have 175 people lined up to run, maybe 7 or 5 at most.
