Whether Mick Cornett or Kevin Stitt wins on Tuesday, the Republican will face Democrat and former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, the scion of an Oklahoma political family. Edmonson unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2010 and is trying again, with much better odds for an open seat in a year that favors Democrats.
Still, he will face a very tough battle in the general election, given how Republican the state is. Even with some surprising special election results and a recent upswell of Democratic energy, Cook rates this race Solid Republican.
