TULSA, Okla. — Mike Mazzei won the Republican gubernatorial runoff by just over 2,000 votes, while Robert Franklin dominated the state superintendent race with 54% of the vote.
Oklahoma voters turned out in strong numbers Tuesday for the state's runoff races, setting the stage for November's general election matchups across several high-profile contests.
Governor
Mike Mazzei won the Republican gubernatorial runoff, edging out Gentner Drummond by just over 2,000 votes. Mazzei secured 186,000 votes in what turned out to be a nail-biter. He will face Democratic state Representative Cyndi Munson in November.
State superintendent
Robert Franklin dominated the state superintendent runoff with 55% of the vote — nearly 200,000 votes — beating James Taylor. Franklin's November opponent will be Jennettie Marshall.
U.S. Senate
N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas is heading to the general election after a decisive win over Jim Priest. She captured more than 60% of the vote and will now take on Congressman Kevin Hern for the U.S. Senate.
Ballot measures
Oklahoma voters approved State Question 846 by a 55% to 45% margin, meaning voters will now be required to show state-issued ID every time they vote.
Voters rejected State Question 844 by a wide margin — 75% voted no on reimbursing local governments for manufacturing tax exemption losses.
Tulsa City Council
Five councilors are staying put: Vanessa Hall Harper, Jackie Dutton, Anthony Archie, Karen Gilbert, and Lori Decter Wright.
The one new face is Pete Regan, who cruised to victory in District 9 with nearly 70% of the vote.
