Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond Announces Broad Bipartisan Support for Re-Nomination
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond received a significant show of support today, October 10, 2025, as leaders from across the political spectrum publicly announced their backing of his re-nomination.
The announcement, made this morning in Oklahoma City, included endorsements from prominent figures in both the Republican and Democratic parties, signaling a rare moment of unity around the state’s top legal official. Supporters cited Drummond’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and his focus on protecting Oklahoma consumers as key reasons for their support. Former Governor Brad Henry, a Democrat, stated, “Gentner has consistently demonstrated a willingness to put the interests of Oklahomans first, regardless of party affiliation.”
The coalition backing Drummond includes State Senator Kevin Matthews, a Democrat representing Tulsa, and State Representative Kyle Hilbert, a Republican from Oklahoma City. Drummond, who assumed office in January 2023, has focused on issues ranging from combating the opioid crisis to challenging federal overreach, and this broad support base suggests a continuation of those priorities. This level of bipartisan backing is particularly noteworthy in a state that has historically leaned heavily Republican. More information about the Attorney General’s office can be found on the official Oklahoma Attorney General website.
The Attorney General’s office confirmed that a formal re-nomination process will begin in the coming weeks, with a primary election expected in the spring of 2026. Drummond acknowledged the support, saying, “I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me by Oklahomans from all walks of life, and I remain dedicated to serving as a strong and independent advocate for our state.” The Department of Justice provides further context on the role of state attorneys general here.
Officials stated they anticipate a robust discussion of legal issues facing the state during the upcoming election cycle.
