Drummond Pulls Ahead in GOP Race | Oklahoma City News

Gentner Drummond is surging ahead of Mike Mazzei in the Republican governor’s race, pulling ahead with nearly $2.3 million in individual donations compared to Mazzei’s $816K, and ending with a massive $1 million cash reserve versus Mazzei’s $151K. Drummond’s strategy—relying on grassroots donations and even loaning himself $500K—has outpaced Mazzei’s heavy dependence on personal loans ($11M total), including a notable contribution from Governor Kevin Stitt. While Mazzei’s fundraising picked up slightly after reaching the runoff, Drummond remains dominant, having raised nearly $7.1M overall. Drummond’s campaign spent over $2.2M on consultants, staff, and ads, and his chair is confident they’re poised for victory as the August 25th runoff nears. Meanwhile, outside groups are pouring millions into the race—$4.3M against Drummond (who’s suing them) and $2.8M against Mazzei—with Democratic nominee Cyndi Munson also funding her campaign through individual donors. The Republican winner will face Munson and independents in the November 3rd general election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
