Election for the governorship of the U.S. state of Oklahoma
The 2018 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 2018. Businessman
Kevin Stitt was elected governor, succeeding fellow Republican
Mary Fallin , who was term-limited.
Primary elections took place on June 26, 2018, and primary runoff elections followed on August 28.
[1]
[2] The
Democratic Party nominated former
Oklahoma attorney general
Drew Edmondson . The Republican primary eliminated Lt. Gov.
Todd Lamb , resulting in a runoff election between former
Oklahoma City mayor
Mick Cornett and businessman
Kevin Stitt . On August 28, 2018, Stitt won the Republican primary runoff and became the Republican nominee for the office. The Libertarian primary also advanced to a runoff, with
Chris Powell , a former chair of the
Libertarian Party of Oklahoma , winning the nomination.
The election was notable for three reasons:
The Libertarian Party was on the ballot in an Oklahoma gubernatorial election for the first time.
[3]
For the first time since 1986, a candidate from the incumbent president's party was elected governor.
As a member of the
Cherokee Nation , Kevin Stitt became the first tribally enrolled
Native American to serve as governor of a
U.S. state .
