TULSA, Okla. – Oklahoma voters have selected a new representative for the state’s First Congressional District, sending Mark Tedford to Washington after his victory over Democrat John Croisant in Tuesday’s election.
The race was for the open seat being vacated by Kevin Hern, who mounted a successful campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Tedford campaigned on economic growth, government accountability, and border security. Croisant, a former educator and businessman, focused his campaign on education, family issues, and affordability.
The outcome keeps Oklahoma’s First District in Republican hands as voters send a new representative to Congress.
