Oklahoma GOP Endorses Mazzei for Governor | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma’s GOP State Committee just threw its full weight behind Mike Mazzei in the governor’s race, setting up a high-stakes August 25 runoff against Attorney General Gentner Drummond. This move marks a bold break from tradition — the party had previously endorsed a candidate who later dropped out, sparking calls for chairwoman Charity Linch to step down. Though Linch doesn’t officially endorse either candidate this time, she insists party rules allow leadership involvement. With polls open from 7 AM to 7 PM on Tuesday, voters will pick the Republican nominee to face Democratic challenger Cyndi Munson and three independents in November’s general election — signaling a shift toward louder, more vocal conservative leadership.
