No story this week names this candidate.
Frank Lucas was born on January 6, 1960. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Oklahoma State University and worked as a farmer and rancher before his election to public office.
Frank Lucas first ran for the 59th district of the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1984, losing to Democratic incumbent Rollin Reimer, and lost again narrowly to Bert Russell in 1986. In 1988 he defeated Russell with 56 percent of the vote, and he represented the district from 1989 until 1994.
In 1994, after 6th district congressman Glenn English stepped down, Lucas won the special election for the seat, defeating Dan Webber by eight percentage points and carrying 18 of the district's 24 counties. He won a full term that November with 70% of the vote.
After Oklahoma lost a district in the 2000 Census, his district was renumbered as the 3rd. Lucas became dean of Oklahoma's congressional delegation in 2023, and he chaired the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee from 2023 to 2025.
In the 119th Congress he serves on the Committee on Agriculture, where he chairs the Subcommittee on Conservation, Research, and Biotechnology, and on the Committee on Financial Services.
Frank Lucas is the Republican incumbent in Oklahoma's 3rd congressional district, which is based in western Oklahoma and includes Enid, Stillwater and the Oklahoma Panhandle. He was re-elected unopposed in 2024.
In the 2026 Republican primary he won 70.8% of the vote against Wade Burleson, an author and retired pastor who ran for the district in 2022.
In the general election on November 3, 2026, he faces Democrat Suzie Byrd, a newspaper reporter for the Enid News & Eagle, who won her primary with 67.4% of the vote against warehouse worker Jules Roberson.
