Democrats sweep 2 legislative special elections in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY —

Democrats have swept special elections for a state House vacancy from the Tulsa area and a state Senate vacancy from Oklahoma City, both vacated by Republicans who resigned.

In House District 75, which includes portions of east Tulsa and north Broken Arrow, unofficial results show voters picked Democrat Karen Gaddis over Republican Tressa Nunley on Tuesday. Both were vying to replace former Republican state Rep. Dan Kirby, who resigned this year after two former legislative assistants accused him of sexual harassment. Kirby has admitted he used poor judgment but denied harassing legislative aides.

Not concerning considering it is OK and purely a welfare district election for the gimme crowd.

Michael Brooks-Jimenez won in South Okie that is almost 50% latino.

Not sure about House Dist 75.  Never spent much time in Tulsa.

So now the Democrats, unable to win any of the House seats where they blew millions, are going to trumpet state legislature victories now. Nice.

Even though these were districts held by the GOP, these vote totals are too miniscule to point to a trend. It's a state level race to begin with. If the media wants to hype this, let them have their delusions.

I lived in Oklahoma for awhile.  I wondered about this.  Doesn't seem very Oklahoma to me.  Thanks for the enlightening information.

   President Trump will use this to pressure Ryan and McConnell to get busy on his 'Beautiful' Healthcare plan cause the Dems are starting to catch up and by 2018 everyone will know it was you that screwed up. 
   Hyperbole much? yes, I do sometimes.
