House District 92, Oklahoma County
HD 92 in southwest and central OKC will be decided in this year’s primary election, although the same two candidates will appear twice on voters’ June 16 primary ballots.
That’s because, after former Rep. Forrest Bennett (D-OKC) resigned to become president of the Oklahoma State AFL-CIO, Gov. Kevin Stitt placed the special election to fill the remainder of Bennett’s term — which runs through November — on the broader 2026 election schedule.
Democrats will retain the seat one way or another, with Sam Wargin Grimaldo, 38, and Vicki Ruth Werneke, 62, becoming the only candidates to file for the seat. Wargin Grimaldo has previously run unsuccessfully for an OKC City Council seat and State Senate District 46.

Two Republican challengers, Brent Rinehart, 61 of Oklahoma City, and Alexander Yoder, 30 of Midwest City, are attempting to oust 72-year-old Incumbent Rep. Max Wolfley (R-OKC) in the June primary.
Wolfley has faced both men before, although he and Rinehart both lost their HD 95 campaigns to former Rep. Charlie Joyner in 2014. Wolfley ultimately succeeded in 2020 when he ousted a Democrat from HD 95, and he easily fended off a challenge from Yoder in 2024. Rinehart is a former Oklahoma County commissioner who received a deferred sentence after pleading guilty to a campaign violation misdemeanor in 2009.
“Declaring victory over my enemies, I refuse to be bitter,” Rinehart said at the time.
The winner of the GOP primary will face Midwest City Democrat Tegan Malone, 49, and independent Ryan Gardner, 29 of Oklahoma City. Malone has challenged Wolfley before, garnering 46 percent support to Wolfely’s 54 percent support in both 2022 and 2024.

House District 97, Oklahoma County
Incumbent Rep. Aletia Timmons (D-OKC) is being challenged by fellow Democrat Chimere Grant, 43, of Oklahoma City in the June primary. Timmons, 65, won the seat in a 2025 special election.
OKC Republican Austin Jones, 37, will face either Timmons or Grant during the Nov. 3 general election.
House District 98, Tulsa and Wagoner counties
Incumbent Rep. Gabe Woolley (R-Broken Arrow) is being challenged by fellow Republican Dean Davis. Woolley, 31, ousted Davis, 53, in the 2024 primary.
Broken Arrow Democrat Cathy Smythe, 71, will face the winner on the November ballot — as she did unsuccessfully in 2024.
House District 99, Oklahoma County
A total of six candidates from Oklahoma City are vying for the seat left open after former Rep. Ajay Pittman was forced to resign as part of her plea agreement for a forgery charge. The northeast OKC-area seat drew five Democrats:
- Herschel L. Brown, 62;
- Derrick Sier, 44;
- Alan Washington, 64;
- Carlos M. Robinson, 43; and
- Steve Davis, 55.
With the five-candidate field making a Democratic runoff likely, the eventual winner will face off in the general election against Republican Melvin Latham, 70.
House District 100, Oklahoma County
Incumbent Rep. Marilyn Stark (R-Bethany) will see Democrat challenger Chaunté Gilmore, 44 of Oklahoma City, on the November ballot. Gilmore, 44, has challenged Stark, 69, twice before. In 2022, Stark prevailed by 1,008 votes, but in 2024, that margin dwindled to 288.
