AG Gentner Drummond is campaigning with strong lines like this:

“As Attorney General, I took on the cartels, State Farm, and Big Pharma. As governor, I will take on anyone who thinks Oklahoma is theirs to take.”

And in his debate closing:

“I’ve held accountable out-of-state corporations like State Farm… that would injure your home, your paycheck, and your future.”

He frames it in past tense as a clear accomplishment, implying real results and success for Oklahoma homeowners facing denied claims and sky-high premiums.

Reality check:

The flagship case, Hursh v. State Farm (CJ-2025-2626, Oklahoma County District Court), is still very much ongoing.

The lawsuit alleges State Farm operated a “Hail Focus Initiative,” a coordinated scheme to systematically underpay or deny valid hail and wind damage roof claims affecting hundreds, and potentially more than 1,000, Oklahoma homeowners.

Drummond’s office intervened in December 2025 after the district court granted the request, giving the Attorney General additional discovery and subpoena authority.

State Farm appealed.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 27, 2026.

As of mid-June, there has been:

• No final Supreme Court ruling on the intervention.
• No settlement on the merits.
• No final judgment.
• No statewide homeowner payout.
• No completed accountability process.

The case remains active.

Fighting powerful insurance companies on behalf of Oklahoma homeowners is important, especially when many residents are dealing with some of the highest insurance costs in the nation.

But there is a difference between filing, intervening, arguing, and litigating a case versus actually winning a case.

Presenting ongoing litigation as if accountability has already been delivered is campaign messaging, not a final outcome.

Oklahoma voters deserve transparency about what has been accomplished, what remains in litigation, and what results have actually been achieved for homeowners.

The insurance crisis is real.

Premiums continue rising.

Claims disputes continue.

And many Oklahoma homeowners are still waiting for answers.

Oklahoma deserves straight talk about what has been resolved and what is still working its way through the courts.

Who has had a roof claim denied, underpaid, delayed, or seen their homeowner’s insurance rates dramatically increase?

@EHall17506 @WinningintheUSA I 2nd that. Thank you, @WinningintheUSA for all your research and putting all of this political information together for all of us. It made my decision making a lot easier. Bless you 🙏

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

@JakeMerrick4Gov You gave it a good fight. Not enough Oklahomans are awake to the establishment. It's sad because now we are left with the choice of voting for a democrat or voting for a RINO Republican.

🌾 Jake Merrick’s 2026 Governor Run: The Little Campaign That Shocked Oklahoma Politics

In a Republican gubernatorial primary dominated by millionaires, self-funders, PACs, consultants, and establishment networks, Jake Merrick pulled off something few expected.

📊 The Results:
• Finished 4th statewide with roughly 14.9% of the vote (~54,000 votes).
• Landed behind Drummond (~26.3%), Mazzei (~26.0%), and Keating (~18.5%).
• Finished ahead of former House Speaker Charles McCall (~12.2%) and the rest of the field.
• More than 400,000 Republicans cast ballots in the race.

What makes that noteworthy isn’t just where he finished. It’s how he got there.

📈 Polls consistently had Merrick in the single digits for much of the race. Early surveys often showed him around 5-7%, trailing the better-funded candidates. Even late polling generally placed him around 10-12%.

Yet on Election Day, he outperformed expectations and built one of the strongest grassroots showings in the field.

💰 The Money Gap Was Massive

While other candidates spent millions, Merrick operated on what was essentially campaign pocket change by comparison.

• Roughly $80,000-$82,000 raised and spent.
• Opponents were spending millions.
• Mike Mazzei alone poured more than $10 million of personal money into the race.

Merrick rejected the traditional big-money model, instead campaigning on principle over politics, constitutional government, faith, family, freedom, property rights, child welfare reform, and anti-establishment conservatism.

👤 Who Is Jake Merrick?

Many voters know him as a former Oklahoma State Senator, but his background extends well beyond politics.

• Former State Senator for District 22.
• Master of Divinity graduate.
• College professor.
• Business owner.
• Pastor.
• Radio host.

Throughout the campaign, Merrick presented himself as a candidate unwilling to compromise with special interests, even arguing that his previous political setbacks came from refusing to play the insider game.

🗺️ Where His Message Hit Home

His strongest performances came in rural and exurban counties where grassroots conservative voters remain highly engaged.

Some standout areas included:
• Major County (+21%)
• Grady County (+12%)
• McClain County (+3%)
• Garfield County (+1.7%)
• Canadian County (+1.5%)

Those counties became proof that motivated voters can sometimes overcome financial disadvantages.

⚠️ The Limits

The same factors that fueled his grassroots appeal also created obstacles.

Merrick lacked the statewide name recognition, institutional backing, and financial resources available to the top-tier candidates. Urban and metro areas, particularly Oklahoma County, proved far more difficult terrain.

🔥 Why It Still Matters

With roughly 14.5% of the vote, Merrick’s supporters now represent one of the most important voting blocs heading into the August 25 runoff.

Their votes could play a major role in shaping the final outcome.

Regardless of who ultimately wins the nomination, Merrick’s campaign demonstrated something many political professionals dislike hearing:

A candidate with limited resources, a clear message, and a motivated grassroots base can still outperform expectations in Oklahoma.

In an era dominated by million-dollar campaigns, that’s a story worth paying attention to.

Conservative values used to be about independence, freedom from federal control, and less spending. Oklahoma, what have you become?

Mazzei spent $11,000,000 which is $105 per vote and sold out Oklahoma interests for a pat on the head endorsement from DC and more Fox News time.

Jake Merrick spent $1 per vote and beat the former speaker of the house who spent over $4,500,000 ($95 per vote). He wasn't allowed into the debate despite polling above McCall. No ads, no Fox News tv time.

Yes, at present, Oklahoma elections are bought,
not won.
However, there is a glimmer of hope.
Thank you @JakeMerrick4Gov for showing that grit and faith can still have impact.

For those saying Jake was a spoiler...
I have news for you.
Your candidates were already spoiled, elitist, sellouts long before this election, and like any other pile of spoiled fruit, they are just going to smell worse and worse as this drags on...

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

Good question.

[Mr. Nobody @MmisterNobody]

If the C0VID shots were given out for free because they’re “life-saving,” then why isn’t chemotherapy, insulin, and EpiPens?

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

Using holistic methods like ivermectin and HCQ, and hydrogen peroxide therapy. Another option. Use MMS, chlorine dioxide, proven to kill cancer. The medical establishment needs you sick for their business to survive.

[World of Bongs @WorldOfBongz]

So true!!!

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

@carm031209 @mncoffeegal @JakeMerrick4Gov @JJ_Humphrey I voted for @JakeMerrick4Gov and @JJ_Humphrey. Hoping Jake get 50%+ to beat the establishment.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

@Okie_Rancher @JakeMerrick4Gov I voted for @JakeMerrick4Gov
It would be AWESOME if Jake beats out the establishment by getting over 50% of the vote.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

One of the safest substances out there, and yet, it's illegal. WHY? What was the real reason they made cannabis and psilocybin illegal? What were they, the government, afraid of?

[STONERS R US 🍃 @_StonersRUs_]

Ban alcohol. Make cannabis legal.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

Wake up folks. The medical industrial establishment is a business. If they cured you or healed you from whatever you’re suffering, they would go out of business. They need you sick and they’ll keep you sick.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

OKLAHOMA! This is Oklahoma. Not data centers, wind turbines and solar farms.

[Okie_Rancher @Okie_Rancher]

I love this life. Checking cows on a beautiful Oklahoma evening. All is well. Thank you God for this moment.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

@mncoffeegal @TheCalvinCooli1 @MazzeiMike @JakeMerrick4Gov I’m voting for you, Sir.

[JohnJ_in_OK @JDJamerson]

This is great news for Oklahoma!

🚨 Ground Has Officially Been Broken on a $400 Million Refinery in Duncan, Oklahoma

This could be one of the biggest energy and economic development projects Oklahoma has seen in years.

On May 29, 2026, Green Fuels Operating (GFO) held the groundbreaking ceremony for its new $400 million refinery on the historic Stephens County Refinery property, the former Sun Oil/Tosco site that has sat idle since 1983.

State and federal leaders, including Congressman Tom Cole and Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell, were on hand to celebrate what is being described as the first major new U.S. refining investment in decades.

📍 Key Details:

• Initial capacity of 30,000 barrels per day, with plans to expand to 50,000 barrels per day.

• Up to 1 million barrels of on-site storage.

• 24/7 operations producing asphalt, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel.

• 75-80 permanent full-time jobs in engineering, operations, skilled trades, technology, and maintenance, with hundreds more construction and indirect jobs expected during development.

What makes this project unique is its technology.

GFO says the refinery will utilize a modular design, closed-loop systems, vapor recovery technology, and lower processing temperatures. The company describes it as Oklahoma’s first “near-net-zero” refinery, designed to recycle emissions and reduce energy consumption while redeveloping a remediated brownfield site.

Beyond the jobs and investment, this project brings new life to a 420-acre industrial property that has been dormant for more than four decades.

At a time when national refining capacity has steadily declined, this is a significant vote of confidence in Oklahoma’s energy sector, workforce, and business climate.

Whether you’re focused on energy independence, economic development, job creation, or rural investment, this is the type of project that gets attention.

💬 What do you think, Oklahoma?

Do we need more large-scale industrial projects like this, or should the state focus on other economic priorities?
