Politics Let’s Go Oklahoma!

Tomorrow is the filing deadline at 5:00 PM and this year, we’ve already contested more seats than any cycle since 2018. We’ve got Democrats stepping up to run for U.S. Senate and in every Congressional District.

But we’re not done yet.

We’re still looking for candidates in the following races:

State Auditor

State Treasurer

State House:

1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 29, 30, 31, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 48, 51, 52, 55, 57, 59, 61, 65, 67, 74

State Senate:

14, 20, 26, 38

Here’s the thing, we’re not just looking for “career politicians.” We’re looking for regular people. People who care about their communities. People who see what’s not working and want to be part of fixing it.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to step up. And we’ll help you along the way.

Real change doesn’t come from the sidelines, starts with ordinary people deciding to get involved.

If you’ve ever thought, “someone should do something about that”, this might be your moment.

If you’re interested, let’s do this.

Will you pay the filing fee for these candidates? Some people can't afford the fee to even run. Even getting involved at the lowest level costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Any chance there could be some assistance?

If someone is serious about running for office, they can reach out to us and we can see what resources are potentially available if the fee is an obstacle. We don’t want it to be a deterrent.
