OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Each of Oklahoma's five Republican U.S. House incumbents have filed candidacy papers indicating their plans to seek re-election in November.
U.S. Reps. Jim Bridenstine, Tom Cole, Frank Lucas, Markwayne Mullin and Steve Russell each filed declarations of candidacy on Wednesday, the first day of Oklahoma's three-day filing period for political office.
U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Edmond is seeking a full six-year term in that seat, but says he plans to file his paperwork on Friday.
Russell is seeking his second term in Oklahoma's 5th District and already has drawn an opponent in Democrat Tom Guild of Edmond.
Other offices on the ballot in November include all 101 state House seats, 25 Oklahoma Senate seats and a six-year term on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
