AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Oklahoma’s State Primary Runoff
The runoff includes a costly governor’s race, a U.S. Senate contest and two ballot questions, with 2.4 million registered voters statewide.
- On Tuesday, Oklahoma voters cast ballots in primary runoff elections to determine party nominees for governor and U.S. Senate, concluding a high-profile Republican gubernatorial race between Attorney General Gentner Drummond and former state Sen. Mike Mazzei.
- President Donald Trump-backed Mazzei challenged Drummond, who criticized the president's tariff policies. Gov. Kevin Stitt endorsed Mazzei while Drummond emphasized his attorney general record, creating a sharp Republican divide.
- In the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, nurse N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas faced attorney and minister Jim Priest. Oklahoma's closed primary system restricted voting to registered party members only.
- Every voter also weighed in on two state questions appearing on all ballots. State Question 844 addresses tax revenue reimbursement for local governments, while State Question 846 proposes a constitutional amendment mandating voter identification.
- Winners of the gubernatorial runoff advance to the November General Election to face Democratic House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson. The U.S. Senate primary winner will compete against Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern on November 3.
