The Kay County Chapter of the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association met Tuesday evening, August 10, 2021, at Mary’s Grill in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. OK2A members and the public were in attendance at the meeting along with Mayor Ken Smith and wife Dianne; Terry Thompson, Kay County OK2A coordinator; Alan Avery, the new Noble County coordinator; and Joshua Reil, U.S. LawShield state manager.
Guest speaker Jackson Rhodes Lahmeyer is a Republican candidate for the Oklahoma U.S. Senate. Lahmeyer is a businessman, pastor, and is described as a conservative fighter. He and his wife Kendra have five children. The family lives in Owasso and they are the lead pastors at the Sheridan Church in Tulsa.
Lahmeyer spoke to the group about starting his campaign five months ago to challenge James Lankford in the 2022 Republican Primary. He has received endorsements from retired General Michael Flynn, Pastor Greg Locke, and Pastor Mark Burns, pastor to former President Trump.

They tried to defeat us. We have to be willing to fight,” Lahmeyer said.
