AP Race Call: Republican Josh Brecheen wins reelection to U.S. House in Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District

Oklahoma’s sprawling 2nd Congressional District stretches across most of eastern Oklahoma, from the Red River border with Texas to the Kansas state line. Brecheen replaced Markwayne Mullin, who is now Oklahoma’s junior U.S. senator. The Associated Press declared Brecheen the winner at 8:31 p.m. EST.
