If you create new articles, please put in some information, not just person's name. Thanks! Andris 20:06, Jun 2, 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, ditto on that. Please, consider choosing one senator and writing his bio? I'm moving to have any pages you make with just a name speedy deleted, in accordance with our deletion policy. Atleast write one paragraph and add a stub notice with. Cheers, Dunc_Harris|☺ 20:23, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your notes. I've now started adding more content when I create a page. For the ones I've done already with just a name, I'll go back and add more content.

 * No problem. I see you are a nice chap and all that and helping the 'pedia, :) but could you please quickly run through the welcome, newcomers, particularly tutorial so you know how to put in the blue links.  Cheers, Dunc_Harris|☺ 20:30, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

FYI, I killed off a few of your names-only pages today before I realized what kind of collection you were creatingso you may have to re-create some of them. Personally, I find it helpful to create bios offline, then create pages and dump in the text - especially when making a bunch of pages with similar format. - DavidWBrooks 20:33, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Rockefeller Republicans
Hi. Please note that I moved your article "Rockefeller Republicans" to "List of liberal U.S. Republicans"; see Talk:List of liberal U.S. Republicans for my reasons. Note that there was an older existing article at Rockefeller Republican which I guess you were unaware of. Once links to your article are cleaned up, I suggest that "Rockefeller Republicans" be changed from a rediect to "List of liberal U.S. Republicans" into a redirect to "Rockefeller Republican".

Thanks for straightening me out on the Tafts and their names. Appreciate it! Tim 15:30, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)

Recent edits to Clinton article
I see you've expanded the "Accusations, impeachment, and legal problems" section of the Bill Clinton article. Unfortunately, I believe some of it will be considered non-NPOV and much of it belongs, perhaps, in other articles dealing with specific scandals (whether they currently exist or not). I have no strong interest myself in maintaining the Clinton article so please don't take this as an attack; I just figured I'd give you a friendly warning before you start seeing others reverting your edits. Also, I see that you're a journalist. You might need to try extra hard to resist turning the presidential bio pages into newspaper exposés. See also What wikipedia is not. - dcljr 19:38, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You asked me to check out the Bill Clinton article again. The "Accusations..." section seems fine now, except the figure $850,000 is mentioned twice. Other than that it looks good. - dcljr 16:39, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ohio State Government
In response to your note on my talk page: My source for elected officials is Official Roster of Federal, State, and County Officers and The Ohio Municipal, Township and School Board Roster, both published by the Ohio Secretary of State. It looks like that information is also available on the Secretary of State's web site. Unfortunately, it doesn't look to go down to the level of local zoning board and so forth. That information may only be available at the local level. Jwolfe 03:43, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

State court
Great job with the table!

I did make one change in Georgia - the only state of which I am qualified to speak - from "Circuit Superior Court" to "Superior Court". Pleadings, orders &c. are captioned "Superior Court of _______ County", although judges and D.A.'s normally have their stationery, signatures etc. Judge/District Attorney for the ______________ Judicial Circuit.

Thanks! Ellsworth 13:24, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Another Political Junkie from Ohio
Thanks for the kind words. I'd seen your handle on some of the pages I'd worked on, e.g. my former congressman, Frank Cremeans. I've also expanded some articles you began, John W. Griffin, Thomas Kindness, Bill Harsha. Good to read your article on the lady challenging Michael R. Turner this year. That's my congressional district and I didn't know anything about her save her name. You've probably seen it, but I've a long list of articles I've made sizable contributions to on my user page including many in legal and political biography. For example, I put the predecessor/successor boxes on all the associate justices of the Supreme Court and wrote blurbs on all the reporters save the current one who I haven't been able to find anything on. May I make one suggestion about creating new biographies? If you create articles under a nickname, e.g. Tom Kindness, would you put in redirects under the full name? I didn't see your Kindness article at first and started writing either under Thomas or Thomas N, then combined the two. I know I'm guilty of this as well because when I went to look at my own Charles Sanders article just now, I couldn't find it because I'd entered it under Charles W. Sanders. If I can be of help, let me know. PedanticallySpeaking 17:18, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

Getting in the Way
My apologies if I bumped into you on the Government of Ohio article. I saw it down on my watchlist where you'd worked on it earlier today and took a look, which spurred me to make a couple revisions to the section on the State Board of Ed. I just noticed from the edit history you were on there at the same time and I probably caused you an edit conflict. I do apologize. One useful wikipedia call is to put the "inuse" template at the top of a page you are editing. That will put up a flag warning everyone to step aside because you are working. I use this especially when I'm making a lot of edits because some of our eagle-eyed contributors waste no time to start editing. But be careful to delete it when you are done or else people will grumble. Ave atque vale! PedanticallySpeaking 16:10, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

Dick Zimmer
Oops. You're right. As far as I can tell they are both named Richard A. Zimmer. If I knew what their initials stood for I'd make Dick Zimmer a disambig page with their full names for their own pages. How would you like to proceed. Something like Dick Zimmer (commissioner) and Dick Zimmer (representative)? AlistairMcMillan 00:16, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

cut and paste moves
Please avoid moving a page by cutting and pasting it's contents into a new location. The appropiate action is to use the "move" tab at the top of the page, which opens a page asking for the new title. Additionally, when moving a page, please be sure no double redirects are created, as happened at Ted Roosevelt. Thanks. Gentgeen 19:26, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To
Acesnray, I copied the party affiliations of the Secretaries of State from the list in the back of the Ohio Secretary of State's "Official Roster of Federal, State and County Officers" (Columbus, Ohio: The Secretary, biennial). The one Secretary with no party listed in the Wikipedia article is also blank in the book. The older editions have information deleted from the newer, such as the legal descriptions of the Congressional districts from the first apportionment onward. I debating whether I want to get involved with posting that. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 15:54, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Was there any discussion about moving Christopher S. Bond to Kit Bond? Even though he is widely know as "Kit", isn't it somewhat unusual to list a person under their nickname instead of their given name? --Kbh3rd 18:30, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Stylebook

 * Salve, Acesnray! Haven't seen you much lately. Hope all is well along the Potomac.  Your changes to Bob McEwen and a couple other articles popped up on my watchlist and I noticed you made some changes regarding numbers, changing words to numbers, and replacing the word "percent" with the percent symbol.  I was taught in school to spell out numbers under one-hundred and in journalism class to always use the word percent in stories rather than the symbol and our stylebook endorses the latter while says either is acceptable on the former.  See Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29.  Ave atque vale!  PedanticallySpeaking 15:45, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

 * Salve! I was looking in the wrong column in the "compare versions". You changed it to "percent" from "%".  Sorry about that.  Some of us can't read.  I'm going to make a proposal to the stylebook re spelling out numbers.  To me, it just looks odd to see "24".  I do recognize the AP uses numerals, but we don't have the same space concerns as they or printed reference works do.  I'm going to make queries about where to post my proposal and when get it up, I'll let you know so you can offer your comments.  One other thing.  You've been putting up results for this months elections; will you be sure to get the final numbers when the elections are certified?  Ave atque vale!  PedanticallySpeaking 16:01, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Dayton, Ohio
Hi. I hadn't realized or remembered about the west-central placement for Dayton. I went to high school in Xenia, but that was some years ago. Anyway, I added "west-central" back to the intro and made a few other changes. See what you think. Maurreen 05:33, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

List of U.S. political families
Hi there! I'm glad you want to contribute to the List of U.S. political families, but please note that it is, strictly speaking, confined to family members who are politically active. Neil Bush, Barbara and Jenna Bush, etc., are not politically active at present (although who knows about the future?), so they should not be included. Moreover, the list is not meant to be a scandallog. It's not a place to include Bush's daughters' underage drinking (which you put in) or Kennedy's nephews cocaine snorting (which you didn't). Therefore, I have reverted your latest edits. If you want to print scandal, however, List of notable U.S. presidential relatives is the perfect place for you - Neil Bush is already there, you can add Barbara and Jenna if you wish, etc. David Cannon 08:22, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Howdy. I've been going back and forth on whether to delete the Hagans and Riffes from the List of U.S. Political Families page, and I figured I'd drop you a friendly note before doing anything rash. The talk page on that article seems to have dried up and I never got any responses to my query about what threshhold should be set for calling a family a "U.S." family, as opposed to something else, as part of my mission to clean up and standardize that page. Neither the Hagans nor the Riffes seem to have contributed any individuals to any national political office; the number of families with multiple members active in state and county politics in all the states is enormous, especially if history is taken into account, and I can't justify trying to add all those families. While the Hagans and Riffes are no doubt notable in Ohio, I don't believe they belong on a page devoted to nationally notable families. I'm leaning toward deleting, but I'll let you have your say if you wish. Perhaps a page of Ohio political families is in order. Thehappysmith 04:48, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Number of votes per voter in a multimember at-large election?
Suppose that we are electing a school board or town council where there are no districts, and the election is "at large". Suppose that there are N vacancies. The voter might have 1 vote to cast amongst the several candidates, or N votes, or 1 <= M <= N. Which applies in Cincinnati, Ohio. How many names must a voter cross off on the ballot paper?

If the answer is N, then the board or council is likely to be run by a landslide result, with no representation from other parties, even the second biggest party.

If the answer is M, then a landslide is less likely, and there is likely to be some reprentation from the second biggest party.

If the answer is 1, then there is likely to be wide selection of representation of big and small parties.

Thus the number of votes per voter is important.

PS I just noticed that the discussion for the Cinncinati elections left of the heading "How Many Votes per voter". DRAT.

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 18:07, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

If Voting Changed Anything . ..
Salve, Acsenray! Hope this message finds you well. I saw the neat article you were working on the many Ohio towns that aren't in the county with that name (e.g. Hamilton, Warren, Butlerville, Clintonville). I had been thinking of doing something like that myself. Glad to see you put it together. Today I did two short articles on Ohio government, Ohio State Board of Education (largely copied from one of the other government articles) and Ohio Ballot Board. I continued work on User:PedanticallySpeaking/In Progress, which when finished will be moved to Ohio election law. Let me know what you think of them. Finally, it appears I somehow forgot to send you a note about my WP:RFA candidacy. I'd appreciate your vote here. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 19:10, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Salve, Acsenray! Thanks for your congrats on my election. I was delighted with the positive comments I got in the election, even if the same issue as last time was drug up.

lots of edits, not an admin
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. It looks like you haven't been around lately, but if you come back and are at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. I've marked you on this list as "inactve". Feel free to update this as well. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) July 3, 2005 17:14 (UTC)

Hindustani
Hi,

I've completely redone the intro to the Hindustani article, based on the idea that, before Partition, the term referred to Urdu (standard Hindi didn't yet exist), and that it is but one of many "dialects" of Hindi, not the whole dialect chain, as the article presented it. Needless to say, the people who believe that Hindustani is a "mix" of Hindi and Urdu think this is absurd. I would appreciate any input you might have. kwami 21:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Kim Zurz
Hello, good work on Kim Zurz, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Kim Zurz? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 21:10, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Greetings! Haven't written you in a while. Hope you are well. I've submitted Bob McEwen as a Featured Article Candidate here and I'd appreciate your vote. PedanticallySpeaking 17:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. The question of an article gaining feature status is not about how important the person or topic is but whether or not the article is any good. On my articles on Tom Brinkman and Julia Stiles objections were made when they were on the front page about how noteworthy the subjects were. I'm surprised I didn't get that on Helen Gandy, which was featured and on the front page a couple months ago. Thanks for writing back. PedanticallySpeaking 17:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Statutory law
Dear fellow editor: I reorganized the references to "codified law" in the article on Statutory law (creating a separate paragraph at the end of the article) because I wanted to make sure that non-lawyers can understand that the term codified law is also used in a more narrow technical sense. I argue that the more narrow sense is the one most people (lawyers and non-lawyers alike) would run across. Yours, Famspear 23:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Herb Hammer, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Herb Hammer seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Herb Hammer, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Italian names of musical instruments
Why the insertion of italian names into the instrument template? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 01:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm, looks to me like at least a couple of us think it should be discussed. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the fact that no less than four seperate people disagreed with it means the consensus is against the addition of the names. A while back I may have even made a note on the Instruments project, and gone boldly reverting all the changes in the name of consensus...but now, I don't care.

In response to your comment on my take talk page, that's simply not the case. In fifteen years of playing solos, chamber music, and band music, I have never, ever, not once, seen the word "eufonio" printed at the top of a page. Nor, in my extensive experience doing score study, is that true for any other instrument: our sheet music does not call a horn a "corno," nor a trumpet a "tromba," nor a bassoon a "fagotto." Unless, of course, you are in Italy. Which we are not.

Forgive me for being blunt, but your blanket assertion of "it's still very likely that when you pick up a sheet of music, the name of the instrument will be in Italian" simply does not correspond to reality. At all. Period. --NetherlandishYankee (talk) 22:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

An invitation to join WikiProject Ohio
 Hi, I noticed you have been editing Ohio law-related topics. I thought you might be interested in joining WikiProject Ohio. We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio and we're always looking for new, active participants. The project's departments include article quality assessment: We have over 5,000 articles to assess for class alone, newsletter writing: This has been delayed by a few months, and new page patrolling. We also have a newly formed taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at WP:OHTWP. If you enjoy writing, we have a need for newsletter writers/contributors and new page patrollers to check for vandalism.

As of now we have over 100 members who have edited within the last 6 months. If you are interested in joining us please list you name here and feel free to introduce yourself on the project talkpage.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at our project talkpage or at my talkpage, we'll be happy to answer any of your questions. I'm also curious as to what sources you use for election results. I'm looking to update this article; but can't find anything to go off of except your edits to the individual district pages. I look forward to seeing you around and thanks for your time!

Don Draper/Real Name
I've noticed that you changed the opening sentence of the Don Draper entry to read "Born Dick Whitman". I had previously changed the entry to read "also known as Richard Whitman" for a very specific reason. The phrase "Born Dick Whitman", "Born Norma Jean Baker" or any other such permutation in a Wikipedia article suggests that either the subjects name was changed legally or that the subject adapted a stage name or a professional name that they were known by.

In the case of the fictional character of 'Don Draper', this man is using the name of a dead man, and has not legally changed his name to Donald Draper, nor is he using the name simply for business uses.

In a real life case that is a parallel to Draper's story, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter used the name 'Clark Rockefeller' and that is what the entry is entitled. However, the opening sentence is as follows: "Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter (born February 21, 1961) is a German con artist who went by the alias Clark Rockefeller." and not "Clark Rockefeller (born Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter).

To state "born Richard Whitman" at the opening of the Draper entry is deceptive, even though it is, by definition, factual.

I admit that my phrasing "also known as", while also accurate, does not flow well. If you can write a new sentence that takes into consideration the point I made, I think that would be a good compromise.

I do not want to engage in an edit war, and would greatly prefer that we come to a consensus about this.

If you have any questions, or comments please let me know. Thank You-(75.69.241.91 (talk) 22:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC))

I recently removed the material you re-added here. This appears to be at best a trivial anecdote, and adds little value to the encyclopedia.

You edited the opening line of the Radio Caroline article, by totalling ignoring the written and quoted source, and replaced by an erroneous and distinctly political POV.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your contributed article, Haitian dollar
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Haitian dollar. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Haitian gourde. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Haitian gourde - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shashwat986 (talk) 22:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Steering wheel logo - 2011 Dodge Avenger.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

Marque
Hi Acsenray, I understand this is the French word for the English word Brand. Sixty or seventy years ago it was used for very particular brands of European cars, perhaps partly as a mark of excellence. It seems to have been revived by some Wikipedia editors but used quite differently. Does its new use simply mean brand or is there now an extra useage I am unaware of? If it means no more than brand why is it being used? Thanks Eddaido (talk) 21:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on William Burga requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

John Sullivan (Oklahoma politician)

John Alfred Sullivan (born January 1, 1965) is an American politician who was the U.S. representative for OK's 1st congressional district (based in the Tulsa area) from 2002 to 2013. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Sullivan was initially elected in 2002. On June 26, 2012, Sullivan lost renomination to political newcomer Jim Bridenstine in what was considered a major upset.

Early life, education, and early career
Sullivan was born in Oklahoma City and graduated from Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa. He subsequently entered Northeastern State University, where he received a B.B.A. in marketing, in 1992. Prior to holding elected office, Sullivan worked in the private sector for Love Travel Centers as a regional sales manager and for BAMA Transportation as a fleet manager.

Sullivan was a Republican member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1995 to 2002, where he served as minority whip.

Elections
In 2002, incumbent Steve Largent resigned from Congress to focus on his campaign for governor. Sullivan entered the Republican primary for his seat running against the incumbent governor Frank Keating's wife, Cathy, in the Republican primary—the real contest in this heavily Republican district. Sullivan won the February special election and went on to hold the seat in the general election in November.

Tenure
During the 2004 election campaign, Sullivan's police record became public. Local media concluded he had at least three arrests: for assault and battery of an off-duty police officer in 1982, when he was 17 years old, and for public intoxication and disturbing the peace in 1985, while still under-age. The most recent arrest, at age 27, was due to an outstanding bench warrant issued after he failed to appear in court for a traffic violation.

Sullivan voted to make the PATRIOT Act permanent, without any future option for Congressional review or revocation.

In the 110th Congress, he served as an Assistant Minority Whip under House Minority Whip Roy Blunt. He held the same position in both the 111th and 112th Congress under Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy.

On October 3, 2008, Sullivan was one of two Oklahoma Republican congressmen to vote for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which created the Troubled Assets Relief Program. On December 9, 2008, Sullivan voted against a bailout of the automobile industry saying "taxpayers should not be asked to reward failure by subsidizing the very business practices that got them into this situation in the first place". He also was a proponent of the 2009 Tea Party protests which condemned any bailouts, and also spoke at a rally in Tulsa.

On December 16, 2010, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) named Sullivan as the vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Power.

In December 2011, Sullivan was named a co-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee's most significant fundraising effort of the 2012 election cycle, the annual March dinner. The dinner was viewed as a tremendous success, drawing in a record-breaking $12 million for republican Congressional candidates across the country. NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions of Texas praised Sullivan and the other co-chairman saying they did "a phenomenal job in their efforts to make this years event a huge success".

Sullivan was tapped to serve on the House Energy and Commerce Leadership team for the 112th Congress. He was the primary sponsor of H.R. 1380, the New Alternative Transportation to Give America Solutions (NAT GAS) Act of 2011, legislation designed to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil by encouraging more natural gas powered vehicles on American roads.

He introduced legislation to study the cumulative economic impact of twelve significant EPA regulations which was passed by the House Energy and Power Subcommittee on May 24, 2011. In February 2011, Sullivan offered an amendment to block the EPA's decision to sell a higher blend, E15, ethanol gasoline for late model cars which passed by a vote of 285–136. Sullivan also sponsored the Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation (TRAIN) Act of 2011 (H.R. 2401), "to require analyses of the cumulative and incremental impacts of certain rules and actions of the Environmental Protection Agency, and for other purposes", which has passed the House and will go on to the Senate.

On February 22, 2012, at a town hall meeting in Bixby, Sullivan said shooting senators would be the only way to pass the Ryan Budget: "You know but other than me going over there with a gun and holding it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them." The next day he released an apology through his spokesperson.

On June 26, 2012, Sullivan was upset in the Republican primary by Jim Bridenstine.

According to the American Conservative Union, Sullivan was consistently among the most conservative members of Congress. He received a 100% rating from the organization in 2009 and 2010 earning their "Defender of Liberty" award both years. He is opposed to all legalized abortion, believes that life begins at conception, and opposes stem cell research on embryonic cells. He has been rated 100% by the Christian Coalition for his views. He is opposed to gun control and has been endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund for his position.

He supported a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning and wishes to strip the independent judiciary of the ability to decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of the Pledge of Allegiance. He had been rated as 0% by the ACLU on civil rights issues. He also supported continued U.S. military involvement in Iraq and opposed any "rapid troop pullout".

Committee assignments

 * Committee on Energy and Commerce
 * Subcommittee on Energy and Power (Vice Chair)
 * Subcommittee on Environment and Economy
 * Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations (Vice Chair – Energy and Power)

Personal life
He and his wife, Judy Beck, have four children.

Alcoholism
On May 28, 2009, Sullivan entered the Betty Ford Center in California to receive treatment for his addiction to alcohol.

Electoral history
* The first 2002 election was the special election on January 8 to fill the remainder of Steve Largent's term upon his retirement. Write-in and minor candidate notes: David Fares received 388 votes in the 2002 special election.
