[edit] 2006 election

During the 2006 election, Holland faced a tough challenge from former State Representative Bill Case (R-Midwest City). Case, who raised $226,338.05 [1] to Holland's $748,003.57 [2], was generally unable to mount a large scale media attack against the incumbent (if relatively unknown) Insurance Commissioner.

During the election an independent group known as "Just the Facts America" launched a blistering attack upon Holland on television, citing her lack of a college education and legal insurance industry contributions to Holland's campaign. It was later revealed that "Just the Facts America" was in fact largely subsidized by Texas businessman Gene Phillips, whom Holland has often opposed. [3]

In the end, Holland was able to collect 52.04% of the votes to carry the election.
