Early this morning, Larry Cassill was driving in NW Oklahoma City to have some car repairs done. Along his route, he passed 36th and Classen and saw a woman campaigning.

"This woman was standing at NW 36th and Classen in OKC campaigning for Bob Anthony," said Cassill. "I asked her if she put the Drew Edmondson and Connie Johnson signs on the ground and she said she did. She also admitted to pulling them out of the ground. I told her she is what is wrong with America."

On his social media, Cassill asked his friends to "please share and please vote against Bob Anthony because he has done the bidding of the energy industry in this state for long enough."

After posting the story on social media, Cassill learned the woman is Bob Anthony's wife, Nancy Anthony. Bob is running as a Republican for Corporation Commissioner, an office he has held for the past 36 years.

Nancy Anthony is the President of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.

Yesterday, a Democratic candidate for Oklahoma's Fifth Congressional District, Tom Guild, admitted to removing signs from where one of his opponents, Kendra Horn, had been authorized to place her signs.

According to NewsOK, Guild admitted removing the signs saying, "Sometimes, in the heat and rush of a campaign, mistakes are made. On reflection, removing some of my opponent's signs — for any reason — was a mistake on my part for which I sincerely apologize."
