Republican Sen. James Lankford is seeking reelection in 2022 and is facing off against Democrat Madison Horn. Lankford maintains a strong polling lead in this race.
In the Oklahoma governor’s race, Democrat Joy Hofmeister is facing off against incumbent Republican Kevin Stitt, who received former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
In the Democratic primary Hofmeister, the state superintendent of public education, switched her voter registration from Republican hoping to beat Stitt in the general election.
The governor's race is closer than expected, considering Oklahoma is a reliably red state that easily voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. According to a polling average from FiveThirtyEight, Stitt holds a roughly 5% lead over Hofmeister.
Education was a hot topic at last month's debate between them, with the two trading barbs over education in the state, according to ABC Tulsa affiliate KTUL.
