TULSA — Oklahoma voters went to the polls Tuesday to decide primary races in a number of state and federal legislative races, including those in three of the five Congressional districts.

In Congressional District 1, it was clear very early in the evening that incumbent Rep. Kevin Hern would run away with his primary.

Dennis Baker took an early lead in the District 1 Democratic primary over Evelyn Rogers, and held on to it through the evening.

In District 2, Republican Rep. Josh Brecheen and Democrat Brandon Wade were both unopposed and will advance to the November general election.

In District 3, no Democrat filed to run, while in District 4 Mary Brannon and Cody Macaulay face one another for the Democratic nomination.

Republican Frank Lucas, the incumbent, easily outmatched his two challengers to advance.

The GOP incumbent in District 4, Rep. Tom Cole, managed to easily outdistance four primary opponents and will retain his seat, as no Democrat filed in that district.

Democrat Madison Horn was unopposed and will challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice, also unopposed, in November for U.S. House District 5.

The Tulsa metro had a few interesting State Senate races, including in District 25, comprising parts of south Tulsa, Jenks, and Bixby, where State Rep. Jeff Boatman and Bixby Mayor Brian Guthrie both hoped to win the GOP primary.

In the end, Guthrie won handily, getting nearly 57% of the vote.

Boatman’s run for senate opened up the District 67 House seat, and four contenders GOP hope to avoid a run-off and win outright; no Democrat filed for that district.

Ryan Hall appears to have held off his three opponents in District 67.

Another contentious race has been run in Senate District 37, west Tulsa and Sand Springs, where incumbent Sen. Cody Rogers faces a primary challenge from Aaron Reinhardt; again, no Democrat filed.

Reinhardt jumped to an early lead, but the race tightened up as more returns came in, and he held on to edge out the incumbent by about 2 points.

In State Senate District 11, north Tulsa, State Rep. Regina Goodwin and former Tulsa City Councilor Joe Williams, contested the Democratic ticket; no Republican filed.

Goodwin ran away with the race, and will move from the state House to the Senate.

Tulsa’s County Commission District 2 race featured three Republicans and three Democrats, all vying to replace outgoing Commissioner Karen Keith, who is running for mayor of Tulsa in the August municipal elections.

Results of both races appear to be heading to runoffs.
