This is a state to watch kids – Republicans, led by Senator Glenn Coffee, will emerge in the majority in November. From KOCO-TV:
Republicans are on track to take over the Oklahoma Senate for the first time ever after retaining two Senate seats in the primary runoff election, a GOP Senate leader said.
Retired Army Col. Steve Russell, a veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, got 67 percent of the vote to defeat businessman Kyle Loveless in District 45, comprised of parts of Oklahoma and Cleveland counties.
In Tulsa County’s District 35 race, Gary Stanislawski, a financial planner, edged attorney Cason Carter by a razor-thin margin. Carter received the most votes in the primary.
