Politics state lawmakers will go before voters for the second time in about two months in runoff elections on Tuesday. They are among the candidates in 10 state legislative districts to compete once again for the Republican nomination after failing to win an outright majority in the June 18 primary.
In House District 98, state Rep. Dean Davis seeks a fourth term, but first must clear a primary challenge from Gabe Woolley, an elementary school teacher, podcast host and parents’ rights advocate. Davis wasIn the June 18 primary, Davis was the top vote-getter by one vote. He received 911 votes to Woolley’s 910 votes, with the remaining 327 votes going to J. David Taylor. The winner of the Republican runoff will face Democrat Cathy Smythe in November.
Wagoner also plays an important role in House District 98, comprising 61% of the June primary vote. Woolley led Davis in Wagoner, 44% to 42%, a margin of only 20 votes. Davis carried Tulsa County, 43% to 40%, or 21 votes. The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
