07/08/2010 Oklahoma gubernatorial contenders discuss views during forum in Enid.

"We frequently get asked about where we're at the campaign, what our plan is and strategy to win,” said Fallin, who represents the 5th Congressional District. "One thing that I think is important to do as a person who hopes to be governor of the state of Oklahoma is to reach out to different associations, different groups.”

Fallin, of Oklahoma City, said the meeting should not be viewed as lobbyists and special interest groups being placed ahead of others. She did not attend the meeting.

"I've been traveling all across the whole state of Oklahoma,” she said after a forum in Enid. "We've been reaching out to all groups.”
