Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt and Democrat Joy Hofmeister easily won their respective primary races on Tuesday.

U.S. Sen. James Lankford won Tuesday’s GOP primary outright in his race for re-election to another six-year term in the U.S. Senate, while U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin and former House Speaker T.W. Shannon will face-off in an August 23^rd runoff election.

Both spoke to the News on 6 Wednesday morning and Mullin said this regarding the types of politicians voters need to send to Washington D.C.

Now that the long list of GOP candidates looking to replace Senator Jim Inhofe has been narrowed down to two, Shannon says the choice is clear on who Republicans should vote for.

Gentner Drummond, who narrowly lost a primary race four years ago, beat Attorney General John O’Connor in the Republican primary by less than two percentage points. With only a Libertarian candidate on the November general election ballot, Drummond is expected to win the four-year term that begins in January.
