| Congrats to The Oklahoma Prosperity Project!!! |
The Oklahoma Prosperity Project won BIPAC's national best website award and the first ever Star Award for the best overall P2 program. BIPAC is the federal business and industry political action committee headquartered in Washington, D.C. In addition, the website had over 11.6 million pages viewed. The closest after that is Pennsylvania at 6 million and Texas at 4 million. Darrell Shull said that of ALL the pages viewed nationally on 50 states sites, one in 12 were viewed from the Oklahoma site. Having info on all the key races and those 11 state questions really made a huge impact on our numbers. |
