Super PAC backs McCall’s Oklahoma governor bid with $1.6 million ad buy
The 2026 midterm elections in Oklahoma are already heating up, with a super PAC backing House Speaker Charles McCall’s gubernatorial bid making a significant move with a $1.6 million ad buy. The Oklahoma Conservative Coalition is set to launch an eight-week advertising campaign across various platforms to support McCall’s candidacy.
McCall, who has positioned himself as an America First and Oklahoma First candidate, has garnered support for his conservative record and alignment with former President Trump’s agenda. The campaign emphasizes McCall’s experience, momentum, and commitment to delivering results for Oklahoma.
As the Republican primary approaches, McCall faces competition from Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, who has announced his own campaign for governor. Drummond’s platform focuses on opposing the Biden Administration’s policies and aligning with President Trump. However, Drummond has faced criticism for his past donations to Democratic officials and decisions regarding transgender healthcare.
The race for Oklahoma’s highest office is expected to be closely watched, as the state leans heavily Republican. Incumbent Governor Kevin Stitt, who is term-limited in 2026, has been embroiled in conflicts with Drummond over various policy issues, including a recent dispute over public funding for a religious charter school.
McCall’s campaign has received endorsements from prominent conservative groups, including the Conservative Political Action Conference, highlighting his record as House speaker on key issues such as agriculture, education, taxes, and pro-life legislation. Other candidates in the race include Oklahoma House Rep. Cyndi Munson, small business owner Leisa Mitchell Haynes, and former State Senator Mike Mazzei.
The upcoming election is poised to shape the future of Oklahoma politics, with candidates vying to lead the state in a conservative direction. Stay tuned for more updates on this dynamic gubernatorial race.
