We’d like to give a big TLO attaboy to Oklahoma McCongressman Kevin Hern!
The former Tulsa-area McDonald’s kingpin turned US Congressman for Oklahoma’s First Congressional District may soon have a super-sized role in Washington D.C.
According to Politico, the mega-millionaire’s name is being floated around to serve as the next Speaker of the House. Let’s just hope a Space X rocket doesn’t explode and ruin it for him...
After the Challenger tragically exploded, my dreams of being an astronaut were cut short.

But I did what I had to do – including hog farming – to purchase my first McDonalds in 1997.
Today, I am honored to represent #OK01 in the U.S. Congress.

For the most part, Hern seems like your typical run-of-the-mill Republican congressman.
He’s extremely wealthy, uses inside information to make lucrative stock bets, and opposes welfare, social safety nets, and other government programs used to assist the people who he employed at McDonalds.
