Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is preparing to launch a bid for governor at an event in Osage County on Monday, a source familiar with the matter told NOTUS.
Drummond’s announcement would mark the beginning of what is expected to be a heated primary for the governor’s mansion in ruby red Oklahoma.
The state’s gubernatorial primary is scheduled for June 2026 and is likely to attract several of the Oklahoma political world’s highest-profile names. With Gov. Kevin Stitt term-limited — Stitt came into office in January 2019 — ambitious Republicans in the state finally have an opportunity to move up the ranks.
