Keating Campaign Announces $3.1 Million Raised Since Launch

OKLAHOMA CITY (Jan. 30th) - Chip Keating’s campaign for Oklahoma Governor announced a historic fundraising start today, reporting $3.1 million raised since launching in October, including $1.1 million from individual donors and a $2 million personal investment from Keating. The campaign has $2.6 million cash on hand at the end of the fourth quarter.

“I’m honored by the outpouring of support we’re seeing across the state,” said Keating. “I didn’t enter this race with rollover campaign funds like my opponents, but I am proud to invest in the fight for real conservative leadership in Oklahoma. Our campaign is being backed by people who love Oklahoma and are tired of career politicians. I’m going to deliver for them.”

The Keating campaign raised $1,069,083 from individual donors since launching on October 1, 2025. With five months until voters head to the polls, Keating’s early success signals a serious shift in momentum.

“My opponents have thrown everything at us from day one: smears, lies, and desperate attacks. It’s backfiring on them,” Keating added. “People are joining our Oklahoma First movement to talk about the issues: safe and clean streets, stronger schools, lower taxes, and a government that listens to the people. My message is simple: Oklahomans deserve better than what we’ve had.”

The campaign said the strong fundraising quarter will help fuel a statewide effort by expanding grassroots organizing, voter outreach, and a ground game built to win in 2026.
