GOP Picks Lankford for Open Oklahoma Senate Seat

OKLAHOMA CITY — Jun 24, 2014, 9:27 PM ET
By SEAN MURPHY Associated Press

Two-term U.S. Rep. James Lankford emerged from a crowded primary field Tuesday to win the Republican nomination for Oklahoma's open U.S. Senate seat, avoiding a runoff despite a well-funded challenge from a tea party-backed candidate.

By getting more than 50 percent of the vote, the 46-year-old Lankford advances to face the Democratic nominee and one independent in November. The seat became open when GOP U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn announced in January he planned to step down with two years remaining on his term following a recurrence of prostate cancer.

A two-term congressman and Baptist minister from Edmond, the 46-year-old Lankford faced a fierce challenge from tea party-backed T.W. Shannon. Shannon last year became both the youngest and the first African-American speaker of the House.

But Lankford, a Baptist minister who spent 13 years directing one of the largest Christian youth camps in the country, dismissed attempts to paint him as a Washington insider, saying at a recent campaign event: "That's just the dynamic of it."

A political unknown when he won an open seat in Congress in 2010 from Oklahoma's Republican-leaning capital city, Lankford campaigned as a hard worker willing to delve deeply into complicated federal budget issues or congressional investigations.

It was the first time in recent history that both Oklahoma Senate seats were on the ballot at the same time. The state's other senaator James Inhofe, easily won his GOP primary.
