Summary
Mike Mazzei and Attorney General Gentner Drummond advanced to Oklahoma’s Aug. 25 Republican gubernatorial runoff, emerging from a crowded primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Kevin Stitt.
Trump-backed Mazzei had been locked in a tight race with Drummond, businessman Chip Keating and former House Speaker Charles McCall after Trump endorsed him as a “MAGA warrior.”
Mazzei centered his campaign on eliminating property taxes, blocking foreign land purchases and cutting government waste, while Drummond leaned on his tough-on-crime record, immigration fights and military service.
The runoff now pits two Republicans both claiming Trump-aligned credentials in a deeply red state that Trump noted was one of only two with no blue counties.
