OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond has announced his candidacy for governor in 2026. The 61-year-old announced his candidacy Monday at the Osage County Fairgrounds near his family’s sprawling ranch. Drummond has at times pushed back against his own party’s governor and other politicians who sought to push religion into public schools. He’s the first to announce his candidacy in what is expected to be a crowded field to replace Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who can’t run again because of term limits. Drummond is a rancher and banker from one of Oklahoma’s most prominent landowning families
