Oklahoma’s runoffs are today (Tuesday, Aug. 26) and state Sen. Al McAffrey isĀ  vying to become the first out U.S. House of Representatives candidate from his state.

He posed for a picture with his partner David Stinson after voting in the runoff election for the Democratic spot in Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District. He faced Tom Guild, a retired university professor.

The winner of the Democratic and Republican runoffs will face three additional independent candidates in the November election. The incumbent, Republican U.S. Rep. James Lankford, won the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Coburn.

In April, McAffrey held a fundraiser in Dallas featuring Leslie Jordan at the Round-Up Saloon.
