State GOP Convention Contends with Electronic Voting and Elects Leaders
Thursday 6th of May 2021
The 2021 Oklahoma Republican Convention was held on Saturday, April 10 in the newly completed Oklahoma City Convention Center. There were 1,279 delegates from across the state in attendance. The GOP biennial convention is held in non-election years to elect leaders, adopt rules, and approve a party platform in preparation for the upcoming election year.
Oklahoma Republican Party state chairman David McLain announced on January 15 that he would not be seeking another term. He was elected to the two-year term in 2019. In an email to Republican leaders, McLain noted some of the highlights accomplished during his administration including registering a record number of new Republicans, gaining seats in the state legislature, taking back the 5th Congressional District seat, and bringing in 65 percent of the vote for President Trump. Mike Turner, who was elected vice-chairman in 2019, resigned and was replaced by the Republican State Committee last year with Shane Jemison, who ran for election to the post at this year’s convention.
