TULSA, Okla. — Republican congressman Markwayne Mullin won Tuesday's election to replace longtime U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe.
The Associated Press called the race against Democrat Kendra Horn within minutes of polls closing.
Who is Kendra Horn?
Kendra Horn is running for U.S. Senate in an attempt to flip a longstanding Republican hold on Oklahoma's representation on Capitol Hill.
Horn is a former U.S. Rep., serving Oklahoma's 5th congressional district seat from 2018 to 2020. She was the first-ever female Democrat elected to Congress representing Oklahoma.
Horn worked as an attorney before joining Congress. She ran unopposed in the 2022 Democratic primary in June, pushing her name forward to the November ballot.
Who is Markwayne Mullin?
Markwayne Mullin represents the Republican party in the race for Jim Inhofe's soon-to-be-vacant U.S. Senate seat.
Mullin chose not to run for reelection for his own seat after serving almost a decade as a U.S. Rep for Oklahoma's second congressional district. He won the Republican bid for the Senate seat after facing T.W. Shannon in August's runoff election.
Mullin is the owner of his family's longtime plumbing business and is a former professional MMA fighter.
