Gov. Kevin Stitt retained his seat as governor, as he defeated Joy Hofmeister, while Markwayne Mullin defeated Kendra Horn for the unfilled term of Sen. Jim Inhofe’s seat. In the other U.S. Senate race, incumbent James Lankford easily defeated Madison Horn.

In other notable races to the banking industry, Republicans all emerged victorious. Todd Russ was elected as state treasurer, Leslie Osborn was reelected as labor commissioner and Gentner Drummond was elected as state attorney general.
