The race is on. 

Oklahoma Attorney General Genter Drummond has thrown his hat into the ring, seeking to replace term-limited Kevin Stitt as Oklahoma’s Governor in 2026. Drummond is the first candidate to announce, and has been considered a strong contender to replace Stitt since being elected to his AG post in 2022.

On this episode of Listen Frontier, we talk with Republican political strategist A.J. Ferate about Drummond’s announcement, what he needs to do to capitalize on his head start, and who else might enter the race.
