| The Oklahoma Republican Assemblies(OKRA) Endorsed 62 Republican Candidates tonight, at their biennial Endorsing Convention, in Tulsa. This event is held prior to the State primary elections every 2 years. This year the Tulsa Area Republican Assemblies hosted the convention and entertained motions to endorse in 94 Republican primaries and issued endorsements in 62 of those races. The threshold for endorsement is attaining at least 2/3 of the votes cast in a vote of the convention delegates. Anything less than that 67% is not an official endorsement of the convention according to the bylaws of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. Here are the 62 Republican Candidates who are officially endorsed by the Oklahoma Republican Assemblies, at the 2018 Endorsement Convention. This group of endorsed Republicans are campaigning in County district, state, and congressional races. |  |
They were selected because they stand out among the field they are vying with. Some races have multiple excellent candidates who enjoy the support of the Republican Assemblies, causing a more even split of support. This is true in the Oklahoma Governor's race and the 1st District Congressional race.
The straw poll results of other races will be published shortly.
