IN THE MID 80S THIS YEAR'S PRIMARY ELECTION. >>IS IN THE BOOKS AND A NUMBER OF RACES ARE HEADED TO RUNOFFS IN. AUGUST CONGRESSMAN, MARKWAYNE MULLIN AND T. W. SHANNON WILL FACE OFF TO SNAG THE GOP NOMINATION FOR JIM AND HOPS. VACANT SENATE SEAT WITH 13 CANDIDATES IN THE PRIMARY. IT WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH 1 FOR ANYBODY TO GET THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTE. MULLIN CAME CLOSE EYE WITH 44 PERCENT WITH 17 PERCENT SHANNON HAD THE 2ND LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE VOTE. WE CAUGHT UP WITH MULLEN AFTER THE RESULTS WERE IN. >>I CAN'T REALLY TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR, OUR RACE. AND, AND WE OUTPERFORM WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO DO TONIGHT. THIS IS, THIS IS REALLY GOOD THAT WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT. >>HORAN RECEIVE THE NOMINATION FROM DEMOCRATS AND AWAITS. THE WINNER OF THE RUNOFF. A DEMOCRAT HAS NOT WON A US SENATE SEAT IN OKLAHOMA IN NEARLY 30 YEARS, SO IT WILL BE AN UP HILL BATTLE FOR HORNS. THE RUNOFF ELECTION IS SET TO TAKE PLACE AUGUST 23RD GOVERNOR SET WILL BE BACK ON THE BALLOT IN. NOVEMBER AFTER AN EASY AND NOT UNEXPECTED PRIMARY WIN IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. >>THE TURNAROUND IS WORKING FOLKS. THE NEEDLE IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN THIS MOVEMENT. >>WILL BE UP AGAINST CURRENT STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. JOY HOFMEISTER IN. NOVEMBER. SHE WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RACE FOR GOVERNOR AGAINST FORMER STATE SENATOR CONNIE. JOHNSON, WE CAUGHT UP WITH HOFMEISTER AFTER HER WIN AND ASKED HER HOW SHE'S GOING TO CONVINCE REPUBLICANS TO BACK HER IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. >>THIS IS ABOUT BALANCE. I'M AGGRESSIVELY. MODERATE ALWAYS HAVE THEN. I SAY, HEY, THERE ARE BIG ISSUES WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH IN. OKLAHOMA AROUND EDUCATION, GREAT JOBS AND OF COURSE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE, LET'S GET SOMETHING DONE FOR. OKLAHOMA, FAMILIES. >>WITH HOFMEISTER RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR HER SEAT AS THE STATE'S TOP EDUCATOR IS OPEN AND AFTER YESTERDAY'S VOTE. THAT RACE IS ALSO HEADED FOR A RUNOFF CURRENT SECRETARY OF EDUCATION. RYAN WALTERS WILL FACE OFF AGAINST APRIL GRACE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT. GRACE IS THE CURRENT SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS IN SHAWNEE. WELL. NO RUNOFF FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE RACE FOR OKLAHOMA ATTORNEY GENERAL INCUMBENT. JOHN O'CONNOR LOST HIS PRIMARY TO GET HER DRUMMOND. HE'LL FACE LIBERTARIAN LINDA STEELE IN. NOVEMBER THE BIGGEST ISSUE SURROUNDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL RACE IS MCGIRT. O'CONNOR ALIGNED WITH GOVERNOR STITTS VIEWS OF TAKING THE FIGHT TO NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES DRUMMOND OFFERED UP A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH THAN O'CONNOR. THE GOVERNOR AND HIS APPOINTEES HAVE PROVEN THAT FIGHTING WITH OUR NATIVE AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE AND WORK TOGETHER THAT PEOPLE ARE OUT AND GOOD PEOPLE ARE IN. JEOPARDY. >>DRUMMOND SAYS HE WILL OPEN THAT LINE OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TRIBES IF HE'S ELECTED IN. NOVEMBER. HE ADDED THAT GETTING A HANDLE ON REPEAT SEXUAL OFFENDERS. AN ILLEGAL MARIJUANA GROW OPERATIONS ARE ON THE TOP OF HIS LIST AS WELL. SENATOR, JAMES LANKFORD NOW HAS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION TO KEEP ITS CURRENT US SINCE SENATE SEAT, HE'S PLEDGING TO CONTINUE WORKING TO ADDRESS SEVERAL BIG ISSUES IF HE STAYS IN OFFICE. >>GERMANISM GOT TO GET DONE. THERE WERE ALL EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. GAS PRICES, INFLATION RAMPANT, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION NATIONAL DEBT. HEALTH CARE COSTS AND AVAILABILITY SUPPLY CHAIN. >>PROBLEMS. RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE BOTH ON THE MOVE IN, THEY INTEND ON CONTROLLING THE WORLD IN THE REGION OF THEIR WORLD. THERE ARE BIG ISSUES THAT WE GOT TO GET RIGHT. >>ALSO, HIGHLIGHTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN HIS VICTORY SPEECH LIKE LAST NIGHT, SAYING WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS, BUT WE'RE ALSO A NATION OF LAWS AND HE BELIEVES WE NEED TO HONOR THOSE LAWS BY ADDRESSING THE ILLEGAL CROSSINGS. MADISON HORAN MAY HAVE WON THE MOST VOTES IN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR US SENATE, BUT HER 37 PERCENT OVER. JASON BOLLINGER, 17 WASN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO LOCK IT IN. THEY GO OFF TO A RUNOFF FOR THE PARTIES PICK. WELL. IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER OF VOTES LISTED ON THE ELECTION RESULTS, YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES CAST IN YESTERDAY'S PRIMARY IS LISTED IN THE THOUSANDS, WHILE THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA HAS A POPULATION OF ALMOST 4 MILLION PEOPLE YET. FEWER THAN 600000 CAST BALLOTS IN YESTERDAY'S PRIMARY. OKLAHOMA HAS A HISTORY OF LOW VOTER TURNOUT, ONLY ABOUT HALF OF VOTERS SHOWED UP TO THE POLLS IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 2
