Freedom Caucus Takes Losses in OK Runoffs | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma Republicans suffered major losses in runoff elections as the Freedom Caucus saw two of its key allies ousted, with challengers backed by Senate leadership sweeping key races. In the Senate, veteran Sen. Dana Prieto and Sen. Jack Stewart both lost to younger, leadership-backed opponents who’ll now face Democrats in November. The Freedom Caucus also loses its leader, Sen. Shane Jett, due to term limits, while his rumored successor Dusty Deevers was already defeated in June. On the House side, Herschel Brown wins his runoff for District 99, and Michael Brittingham defeats a controversial opponent in another district — now heading to November unopposed.
