Attorney General of Oklahoma
Statewide — all of Oklahoma
General election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026
- Incumbent Attorney General Gentner Drummond ran for governor rather than seeking a second term, so the seat is open. Jon Echols won the June 16, 2026 Republican primary with nearly 55% of the vote over Jeff Starling; Nick Coffey was the only Democrat to file and his primary was canceled.[2][1]

Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits
Slate: the State Election Board's candidate list book (filing, April 2026) shows Echols and Starling (R) and Coffey (D); results were confirmed by Oklahoma Voice (June 16, 2026) and News 9 (Oct 13, 2026) and Ballotpedia. No independent or third-party candidate was found. Neither candidate holds this office; Echols's legislative votes were not reviewed bill by bill (the legislature's roll-call pages were not retrieved). Coffey's federal casework is described only through his campaign site. Echols's marijuana-farmland claim on his site was not verified. Oklahoma's Secretary of State is appointed by the governor, so there is no SoS race.
