American Farmers & Ranchers (AFR) Endorses Todd Russ for Oklahoma State Treasurer 

Oklahoma City, OK – May 14, 2026 – American Farmers & Ranchers (AFR), Oklahoma’s leading voice for family farmers, ranchers, and rural communities, today proudly announced its endorsement of incumbent State Treasurer Todd Russ in his bid for re-election. 

“Todd Russ has proven himself as a steadfast advocate for Oklahoma’s agricultural producers and rural economies,” said AFR Cooperative President Scott Blubaugh. “His conservative fiscal management, support for agricultural lending programs, and commitment to strengthening Oklahoma’s financial stability directly benefit our members who rely on strong markets, reliable infrastructure, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. AFR is confident that Treasurer Russ will continue delivering results for family farms and ranches across the state.” 

As State Treasurer, Todd Russ has focused on protecting and responsibly managing billions in state funds, providing oversight of pension and retirement systems, and promoting financial literacy and savings opportunities for Oklahoma families. His background in banking and business has helped deliver historic wins, including full state reserve funds and multiple credit rating upgrades for Oklahoma. Russ has also championed initiatives like strengthening the Agriculture Linked Deposit Program to provide low-interest capital for farmers and ranchers. 

“Agriculture is the backbone of Oklahoma’s economy, and I am honored to receive the endorsement of American Farmers & Ranchers,” said Treasurer Todd Russ. “I remain committed to fighting for policies that support our producers, grow rural opportunities, and ensure fiscal responsibility for generations to come. Together, we will keep Oklahoma strong.”
