Oklahoma Governor’s Runoff Heats Up | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma’s August runoff governor’s race is heating up as early voting begins, pitting Attorney General Gentner Drummond against former senator Mike Mazzei in a battle over the controversial Inola aluminum smelter — with Mazzei’s shifting stance and Trump endorsement sparking voter backlash. Drummond champions agency reform and corporate accountability, while Mazzei pushes tax cuts to lure business. Voters are split: some prioritize healthcare access, others demand consistency on key issues like the smelter. With ads flying and debates escalating, Oklahomans also decide on two state questions — and Democrats and independents can still weigh in on other party runoffs. Election Day is Tuesday, August 25th.
