The battle for Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District was a three-way race between incumbent Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., entrepreneur Robin Carder, and satellite engineer Darren Hamilton.
Lucas, the longest-tenured incumbent in the Oklahoma’s House delegation, has served the district since 2003.
The incumbent has been the chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology since 2023 and enjoyed high-profile endorsements from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the National Rifle Association (NRA), according to VoteSmart.

The race did not garner as much attention and fundraising as the high-profile battle for the state’s Fourth Congressional District, with Lucas raising $1.2 million, according to Federal Election Commission data. Carder and Hamilton, meanwhile, failed to surpass $20,000 in funding.

Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District has been dominated by Republicans, who have won every election in the district since 1996. It is the only district in the state that the Republican nominee will not have to face a Democratic challenger in November.

Police chase suspected DUI driver in Los Angeles County
Officers chased a speeding driver wanted on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles County Wednesday night.
The chase began out of Lynwood as the suspect drove a Mazda SUV and several Los Angeles Police Department officers trailed closely behind.
At times, the suspect narrowly missed other vehicles while running red lights and speeding on surface streets. The driver entered the northbound 710 Freeway and later transitioned to the 105 and the 110.
On the freeway, the driver weaved dangerously through traffic while hitting speeds of nearly 100 mph. At times, the driver was seen making hand gestures out the window.
The suspect exited in South L.A. and continued speeding on surface streets, at one point, driving the wrong way.
Due to public danger, police cancelled the pursuit near S. Broadway and W. 59th Street in the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood.
It’s unclear whether there were additional passengers inside the SUV.
Footage of the chase can be seen in the video player above.
