The Oklahoma 1st Congressional District is my district and it’s open for 2026. The field isn’t set yet however let me give you a brief overview
My Tier A Candidate is Jackson Lahmeyer
I don’t know if Nathan Dahm will run or not
Jackson Stallings and Nathan Butterfield seem like decent candidates, but they lack name ID, and I don’t know about their fundraising yet.
Supposedly, Dan Rooney is thinking about running. He is a veteran and former golfer. If he runs, I hope he runs on more than just being a veteran. I am so tired of candidates running on only that and nothing else.
Jed Cochran is running. He is a former staffer for G. T. Bynum. Huh Noooo.
Kim David and Mark Tedford are running. I don’t make much of either of them for different reasons and they will probably be at the top due to name ID. I am just not impressed.
Lahmeyer has raised over $100k so far and probably more is coming on Saturday Night.
This is a safe congressional district he would easily win the general election.
He has decent name ID. Fundraising should be good enough.
It’s important to note that he started Pastors for Trump Nationwide. President Trump knows and likes him.
Will that translate to the Golden Endorsement? I have no idea anymore but I will say this Trump has endorsed far fewer people for much less this cycle like in WA-4th and IA-4th. So if he doesn’t endorse Lahmeyer it will be pretty disappointing because he doesn’t know any of these folks besides him and no one has supported him like Lahmeyer.
This is the perfect seat and perfect opportunity for Lahmeyer.
I am not endorsing anyone yet until the field is set which comes late next week but I do like Lahmeyer and he would be great.
This isn’t like a normal primary. It’s only 80 days long. It’s kind of like a special election. Sort of like OK-2nd in 2022 and the current Nevada 2nd Congressional District GOP Primary.
We will see what happens but this is my district so I hope I can give my opinion to President Trump.
