RNR Oklahoma GOP Primary (June 28) Voter Guide

Recommendations are not endorsements. Endorsements are highlighted in red.

Statewide:

U.S. Senate: Jackson Lahmeyer

• Republicans for National Renewal has endorsed Jackson Lahmeyer, a patriotic populist who wants to restore election integrity and traditional values. The incumbent, RINO Sen. James Lankford, abandoned President Trump after the 2020 elections, and deserves political retribution for his betrayal.

U.S. Senate (special election): Nathan Dahm

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Nathan Dahm due to his strong record in the state legislature, and the fact he is the highest polling conservative candidate in the race. The two leading candidates leave much to be desired. Frontrunner Markwayne Mullin has shown a weak-willed RINO record in Congress, while TW Shannon was closely aligned with the establishment as Speaker of the State House.

Governor: Mark Sherwood

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Mark Sherwood due to his strongly conservative bona fides. Sherwood is endorsed by Jackson Lahmeyer and General Mike Flynn. A vote for Sherwood will help push incumbent Gov. Stitt to the right.

Lt. Governor: Primary canceled

• This primary was canceled due to there being only one candidate on the ballot.

Attorney General: John O’Connor

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends incumbent John O’Connor due to his support for election integrity, and the fact his primary opponent, Gentner Drummond, is challenging him from the left and holds anti-Trump views.

Treasurer: No recommendation

• Republicans for National Renewal makes no recommendation, as both of the two main viable candidates have very similar and unexceptional platforms and stances.

Auditor: Cindy Bird

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends incumbent Cindy Bird, due to her willingness to challenge special interests and a lack of any legitimate alternatives.

Superintendent of Public Education: Ryan Walters

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Ryan Walters, due to his strong stance against allowing critical race theory and transgender ideology in Oklahoma schools.

Insurance Commissioner: Primary canceled

• This primary was canceled due to there being only one candidate on the ballot.

Corporation Commissioner: Todd Thomsen

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Todd Thomsen due to his strongly conservative record in the state legislature.

Labor Commissioner: Sean Roberts

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends election integrity champion Sean Roberts, a firebrand State Representative who is challenging incumbent Leslie Osborn.

Congressional Districts:

1st congressional district: Primary canceled

• This primary was canceled due to there being only one candidate on the ballot.

2nd congressional district: John Bennett

• Republicans for National Renewal has endorsed John Bennett. He is a solid MAGA populist-conservative who demonstrated a refreshing willingness to challenge the establishment as Oklahoma GOP chair. 

3rd congressional district: Wade Burleson

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Wade Burleson, the outsider challenger to establishment incumbent Frank Lucas, as a protest vote against his record.

4th congressional district: James Taylor

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends James Taylor, the primary challenger to establishment incumbent Tom Cole, as a protest vote. Cole has been a vocal critic of the shift towards populism within the Republican Party.

5th congressional district: Subrina Banks

• Republicans for National Renewal recommends Subrina Banks, the populist challenger to incumbent RINO Stephanie Bice. Bice voted for the Democrats’ January 6 Commission and to send $40 billion to Ukraine. In contrast, Banks is a strong advocate of the America First agenda, supporting an immigration moratorium.
