Drummond attracts donations from 6th most liberal senator

In an interesting tidbit from campaign finance filings, State Sen. Jo Anna Dossett (D-Tulsa) appears to be donating $10 per month to Republican Gentner Drummond's gubernatorial campaign. The date lines up with something like an auto-draft, and hints that donations may stretch back to April.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution's Conservative Index, Dossett is the 6th most liberal member of the Oklahoma Senate.

This is a bit of a turnaround from the more traditional Drummond track record, where he is usually the one giving campaign donations to Democrats, such as

• $1,000 to Brad Carson in 2004 (against conservative hero Tom Coburn).
• $2,500 to Democratic Congressman Dan Boren from 2004 to 2010.
• $1,500 to Democratic Lt. Governor candidate Pete Regan in 2005-2006.
• $500 to Democrat Drew Edmondson's 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
• $1,450 to Democratic nominee John Olson in the 1st Congressional District race in 2012.
• $500 to Tulsa County Commissioner Karen Keith (D) in 2012.
• $1,000 to Tulsa mayoral candidate Kathy Taylor (D) in 2013
• $1,000 to Democratic senatorial nominee Matt Silverstein (running against Jim Inhofe).
• $500 to State Representative and future Oklahoma Democratic Party chair John Waldron in 2017.
• $250 to State House candidate Andy Richardson in 2018.
• $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020 (Drummond blames it on his wife).

Red wave sweeps over Oklahoma: 5 Takeaways

I'll get to my election results maps in the coming days, but here are some quick notes from the election tonight here in Oklahoma:

1. Trump sweeps all 77 counties again

Trump was held just under 50% in Oklahoma County (49.25% to 48.05%), around 55% in Tulsa and Comanche counties, and between 70% and 92%(!!) in almost all of the remaining counties. Huge margins.

He beat out his 2016 showing by 0.07%, while Biden beat Clinton's 2016 result by 3.35% (largely a result of the lower third-party vote in 2020, 5.75%, compared to 2016, 2.33%).
