News
N'Kiyla Thomas is one of three Democrats competing for Oklahoma's 2026 U.S. Senate nomination in the special election. The race is tied to the expected vacancy in Markwayne Mullin's Senate seat, which would need to be filled after his move to the Homeland Security nomination process. A runoff is possible if no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote.
