Republicans Hold Lead In All of Oklahoma's Federal Seats

10/12/2018

With many polls announcing dramatic swings in battleground states, Oklahoma remains solidly poised for consistent OKGOP control.
Last cycle all the congressmen won by wide margins. This time around there is only one district which even drew any speculator's interest.
Congressman Steve Russell is more than 10% ahead of Democrat Challenger, Kendra Horn.
Other states are seeing some bleeding, especially in battleground suburban metropolitan districts, such as Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland.
In the US Senate, Republicans now have 50 seats considered safe and have opportunity to gain 6 more battleground slots which Democrats are defending. Oklahoma has no US Senate race this cycle.
Oklahoma's closest watched race is the governor's mansion. Political newcomer, businessman Kevin Stitt is sounding the refreshing Reagan-Republican talking points that the Republican legislature all but abandoned in the past 2 years. Stitt was playing catch up until the August 28th runoff. But by labor day he established a 3 point edge. September saw him continue his effective messaging and he doubled the margin to 6 points in the most recent SoonerPoll.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
