Republican primary

The 14 candidate Republican primary for Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional district is the largest Republican primary since 1936 when 15 Republican candidate ran for Oklahoma Corporate Commissioner and the largest primary in the state since the 24-candidate 1954 Democratic primary for Oklahoma Secretary of State.[23]

Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district has been noted for drawing several tribal citizens to the race. After the McGirt v. Oklahoma decision there has been renewed interest in issues related to tribal sovereignty.[6] Guy Barker is the secretary-treasurer of the Quapaw Nation and Wes Nofire is a Cherokee Nation tribal councilor. Josh Brecheen, Avery Frix and Dustin Roberts are members of the Choctaw Nation and Johnny Teehee is a member of the Cherokee Nation.[6]

At least one candidate, John R. Bennett, called for the disestablishment of the Muscogee Nation in Oklahoma. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Tribes denounced Bennett's candidacy in response to his calls for disestablishment.[24]
