{{Politics of Oklahoma}}
The '''Oklahoma Democratic Party (ODP)''' is an [[Oklahoma]] [[political party]] affiliated with the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]. It and the [[Oklahoma Republican Party]], are the state's two major parties.

The party dominated local politics in Oklahoma almost since the days of early statehood in 1907 to 1994. In national politics, the party became a dominant force beginning with the [[1932 United States presidential election|presidential election of 1932]] and the [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] political re-alignment. From 1932 to 1994, the majority of members of Congress from Oklahoma have been Democrats, and of the 28 men and women who have been elected to the office of [[Governor of Oklahoma]], 22 have been Democrats.<ref>[http://www.okhistory.org/res/okgov.html Oklahoma Government], Oklahoma Historical Society (accessed February 11, 2010).</ref>

However, the party has fared poorly since 1994; [[1994 United States House of Representatives elections#Oklahoma|Democrats lost five out of six congressional races that year]]. Since then, [[United States congressional delegations from Oklahoma#1953–present|they have won only a handful of seats, which they no longer hold]]. In response, the traditionally disorganized Oklahoma Democrats moved to create a more organized state party, hiring a professional executive director in 1995.<ref name="okdems"/> Even so, ODP continued to decline in the 2000s, losing control of both the [[Oklahoma House of Representatives]] and [[Oklahoma Senate|Senate]]. In the 2008 Presidential Election, Oklahoma gave one of the lowest percentage of any state's vote to [[Barack Obama]], second only [[2008 United States presidential election in Wyoming|to Wyoming]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Presidential Big Board - Election Results 2008 - The New York Times |url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/elections/2008/results/president/votes.html |access-date=2025-05-24 |website=archive.nytimes.com}}</ref> Since [[2004 United States presidential election|2004]], Republicans have won every county in [[United States presidential elections in Oklahoma|Presidential Elections in Oklahoma]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Yim |first=Matthew |date=1 April 2025 |title=Has every county in Oklahoma voted Republican in presidential elections for the past 20 years/ |url=https://oklahomawatch.org/2025/04/01/has-every-county-in-oklahoma-voted-republican-in-presidential-elections-for-the-past-20-years/ |access-date=24 May 2025 |website=Oklahoma Watch}}</ref>

As of January 21, 2025, there are 658,136 registered Democratic voters in Oklahoma. This marks an increase in absolute terms from 652,611 in 2024, but a relative decrease from 28.4% to 26.6% of registered voters.<ref>[https://oklahoma.gov/elections/newsroom/2021/january/state-election-board-releases-annual-voter-registration-statisti.html State Election Board Releases Annual Voter Registration Statistics], Oklahoma State Election Board (accessed 21 June 2021)</ref>

==History==
===Statehood and the 20th Century===
The Oklahoma Democratic Party once dominated state politics for much of Oklahoma history from with its strength in greatest concentrations in [[Oklahoma's 5th congressional district]] and the southeastern part of the state.<ref name="okdems" />

Upon statehood, all but one of the Congressional seats was held by Democrats. The Democrats won eighteen of the twenty-one gubernatorial elections since its statehood in 1907.  The Democratic Party held on average 81 percent of the seats in the state legislature between 1907 and 1973.<ref name="carney">Carney, George O., "[http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/M/MC027.html McGuire, George O.

[[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] opposition to deficit spending in the late 1930s marked a growing conservative movement in the party, which led to a 1941 constitutional amendment requiring legislators to pass a balanced budget.<ref>Everett, Dianna.

After the federal Voting Rights Act and congressional reapportionment in Oklahoma in the 1960s, black state lawmakers returned to the [[Oklahoma Legislature]], this time many aligning with the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] and hailing from [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]] or [[Oklahoma City]].<ref>Franklin, Jimmie Lewis.

Since the 1980s the party has seen a decline as Christian fundamentalists have shifted to the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]]. The Democratic Party has not attained more than 41 percent of the vote for president.

===21st Century===
As of 2000 about 55 percent of Oklahoma voters registered as Democrats.<ref name="okdems">{{cite web| author=Gaddie, Ronald Keith. | title=Democratic Party | publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society | date=2011-11-07| url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/D/DE013.html}}</ref> The party continued to decline in strength in both the [[Oklahoma Legislature]] and executive branch during the 2000 and 2010s. In 2011, Republicans held all statewide-elected offices, a first for the party. However, this downward trend was halted in the late 2010s, with Oklahoma Democrats stabilizing at approximately 20 seats in the State House and 8 seats in the State Senate.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oklahoma State Legislature |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Oklahoma_State_Legislature |access-date=2025-05-24 |website=Ballotpedia |language=en}}</ref> Furthermore, [[Kendra Horn]] managed to defeat Republican [[2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma#District 5|Steve Russell]] in [[2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma#District 5|2018]], becoming the first Democratic Representative from Oklahoma since 2010.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kendra Horn |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Kendra_Horn |access-date=2025-05-24 |website=Ballotpedia |language=en}}</ref>

==Current structure and composition==

ODP hosts a statewide convention in June of odd-numbered years, where delegates representing the county parties elect executive officers. The State Convention is the highest governing body and possesses the exclusive right to amend the Party Constitution.<ref name=":2" /> Additionally, the State Convention elects Oklahoma's delegates to the [[Democratic National Committee]], which is responsible for promoting Democratic campaign activities, overseeing the process of writing the national Democratic Platform, and supervising the [[Democratic National Convention]]. Delegates serve four-year terms concurrent with presidential elections.<ref name=":1" />

The Chair is the highest ranking member of the ODP. The current ODP Chair is [[John_Waldron_(politician)|John Waldron]]. <ref name="Ds">[https://okdemocrats.org/state-central-committee/ State Central Committee], Oklahoma Democratic Party (accessed February 11, 2010).</ref> Former Governor David Walters and Kalyn Free are delegates for the Democratic National Committee.<ref name="Ds" />
=== State Central Committee ===
Between conventions, the State Central Committee functions as the senior most decision making body in ODP and wields the same powers as the State Convention, "except for those matters exclusively vested in the State Convention [i.e. Amendment power] by this Constitution and supporting Bylaws." (Article VII, Section 7)<ref name=":1" />

The State Central Committee is composed of the State Party Officers, the chair, vice-chair, and secretary of each Congressional District Convention, four affirmative action offices to represent historically marginalized groups, two members of the County Chairs Association, the president of each recognized federation of a State Democratic club.

==Ideology & Issues==
{{Further|Political ideologies in the United States|Factions in the Democratic Party (United States)}}
The Oklahoma Democratic Party (ODP) does not explicitly identify itself with any ideology. The Preamble of the Party Constitution reads:<blockquote>We, the Democrats of the State of Oklahoma, united under the banner of the oldest political party in the world, hereby rededicate ourselves to the principles which have historically sustained our Party. While recognizing the limits of government, we regard democratic government as a force for good and a source of hope. We seek individual freedom in the framework of a just society. We pledge ourselves to uphold the United States Constitution and to work openly and honestly in our efforts to conduct public affairs in a manner worthy of a society of free and responsible citizens.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |access-date=23 May 2025 |title=Oklahoma Democratic Party Constitution |url=https://www.okdemocrats.org/platform-governing-docs}}</ref></blockquote>The 2024 State Party Platform restates this big-tent approach saying ODP, "is preprepared to work collaboratively with our fellow Oklahomans, regardless of political party, to invest in and enrich our communities throughout the state. '''Together, we will meet the challenges and opportunities before us with wisdom, determination, and compassion'''." [Emphasis in original]<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Our Party Platform |url=https://www.okdemocrats.org/platform-governing-docs |access-date=23 May 2025 |website=Oklahoma Democratic Party Platform and Governing Documents}}</ref>

Historically, ODP was composed of conservative, [[Centrism|centrist]] and liberal factions. Less than a third of registered Democratic voters in Oklahoma supported President [[Barack Obama]] in 2012, due to the larger amount of conservative and [[Centrism|centrist]] members of the ODP ''vis'' other state parties.<ref>[http://soonerpoll.com/2012-election-analysis-obama-and-oklahoma-democrats/ 2012 Election Analysis: Obama and Oklahoma Democrats], Soonerpoll.com (accessed May 11, 2013)</ref> In recent years the party has adopted more liberal positions on social and economic issues. At the 2023 State Convention, the platform endorsed a more [[Progressive tax|progressive tax code]] to pay for public services and endorsed positions on [[Abortion in the United States|abortion]] and [[Transgender rights in the United States|transgender healthcare]] in line with the national party.<ref name=":1" />

=== Church & State Issues ===
{{Empty section|date=June 2025}}

=== Crime ===

==== Drugs ====

==== Firearms ====
{{See also|Gun laws in the United States by state}}
Republicans have loosened gun restrictions in Oklahoma, resulting in Oklahoma possessing one of the most permissive firearm regimes in the world. Examples of laws enacted include reciprocal recognition of concealed carry licenses from other states,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gjelen |first=E.A. |last2=Pirius |first2=Rebecca |date=14 March 2025 |title=Open and Concealed Gun Carry Laws in Oklahoma |url=https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/open-and-concealed-gun-carry-laws-oklahoma.htm |access-date=11 May 2025 |website=Criminal Defense Lawyer}}</ref> a law which was rendered moot by the passage of a constitutional amendment recognizing the right of adults over the age of 21 to openly carry loaded firearms without a permit, license, or background check.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Open Carry in Oklahoma |url=https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/open-carry-in-oklahoma/ |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=GIFFORDS |language=en-US}}</ref>

Oklahoma has one of the highest gun violence rates in the country, with 19.9 gun deaths per 100k residents, higher than the national average of 13.7 per 100k residents. Furthermore, Oklahoma has one oft the highest gun suicide rates in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oklahoma |url=https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/state/oklahoma/ |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=Everytown Research & Policy |language=en-us}}</ref>

ODP lawmakers broadly support the 2nd Amendment, but believe in what they describe as responsible gun regulations. Examples of laws proposed by Democratic state legislators include universal background checks, an extended waiting period for gun purchases, and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carter |first=Ray |date=2 June 2022 |title=Oklahoma Democrats Call for Gun Control |url=https://ocpathink.org/post/independent-journalism/oklahoma-democrats-call-for-gun-control |access-date=31 May 2025 |website=Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs}}</ref> Another Democratic proposal came from State Senator Jo Anna Dossett (D-Tulsa),which would exempt trigger locks, gun safes, and lock boxes from the state sales tax. Such a measure is aimed at reducing the number of firearms stolen or misused (i.e. youths stealing their parents firearm to commit suicide).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rose |first=Justin Allen |date=11 February 2025 |title=Democratic state senator gets bill incentivizing firearm safety pruchases across committee hurdle. |url=https://www.kswo.com/2025/02/11/democratic-state-senator-gets-bill-incentivizing-firearm-safety-purchases-across-committee-hurdle/ |access-date=31 May 2025 |website=ABC 7 News (Lawton, Oklahoma)}}</ref>

==== Policing ====
The issue of police funding has been a major political issue in cities such as [[Norman, Oklahoma|Norman]] and Oklahoma City. Though candidates for city council run as non-partisans, they are usually members of one of the major political parties. Among Oklahoma City Democrats there is a divide between those who support [[Defund the police|reducing police funding]] to fund [[Mental health in the United States|mental health services]] and those who are opposed. According to Campaign Zero, a police reform group, 63 people were killed between 2013 and 2023. Adjusted for population, [[Oklahoma City Police Department|OKCPD]] possesses the second rate of police killings in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gorman |first=Reese |date=10 February 2023 |title=In Oklahoma City, a progressive faces a moderate challenger after protesting police funding and economic development |url=https://www.readfrontier.org/stories/in-oklahoma-city-a-progressive-faces-a-moderate-challenger-after-protesting-police-funding-and-economic-development/ |access-date=1 June 2025 |website=The Frontier}}</ref>

A similar fight over police funding dominated Norman politics in 2020. The city council, one of the few majority liberal in the state, voted to reduce a previously planned increase to the [[Norman Police Department|NPD]] from $1.1 million to $865,000, with the saved monies getting allocated to non-police responses to disturbances created by mental illness or homelessness. Despite the revised budget still amounting to an increase in police funding, opponents decried the revision as "defunding the police." Democratic councilors such as Kate Bierman, were faced with an organized campaign of harassment including verbal intimidation and a lawsuit from the police union.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schuppe |first=Jon |date=22 September 2020 |title=How a debate over police funding escalated in Norman, Oklahoma- and divided the town |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/how-debate-over-police-funding-escalated-norman-oklahoma-divided-town-n1240661 |access-date=1 June 2025 |website=NBC News}}</ref>

=== Economics ===
ODP accepts the existence of a capitalist economic system. In their 2023 Platform, they argue, "Democrats responsibly support business development and job creation...We cannot live in a prosperous state without both a vibrant business community and a skilled dedicated labor force."<ref name=":1" />

Within the context of a capitalist economy, ODP supports active state involvement. Their 2023 platform endorses a progressive tax code to fund expansions of public infrastructure, education, and healthcare. Furthermore, they support an "all of the above" energy policy, wherein wind, solar, and other renewables compliment oil & gas production.<ref name=":1" />

==== Unions ====
ODP supports the rights of labor unions,<ref name=":1" /> however it presently lacks a dedicated federation/caucus in the state party, putting it at odds with most state Democratic Parties.

=== Human Rights ===

==== Elections and Referendum ====
ODP's 2023 platform advocates for the abolition of Oklahoma's [[Primary election|closed primary system]] and its replacement with, "an open primary that advances the top four finishers to a ranked-choice voting general election."<ref name=":1" /> This is modelled off Alaska's primary election model. ODP has not taken a public position regarding State Question 836, a petition launched by Oklahoma United that would create a top-two primary, wherein every candidate is listed on one ballot and the top two advance to a general election.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oklahoma State Question 836, Top-Two Primary Elections Initiative (2026) |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Oklahoma_State_Question_836,_Top-Two_Primary_Elections_Initiative_(2026) |access-date=2025-05-25 |website=Ballotpedia |language=en}}</ref>

ODP supports defending voting rights and "expanding access to absentee or mail-in ballots." Furthermore, they oppose the use of voter roll purges for partisan or discriminatory ends and support abolishing straight-party voting.<ref name=":1" />

ODP opposes ongoing efforts by Republicans to impose restrictions on petitions. Senate Bill 1027, proposed by State Senator David Bullard (R-Durant), "would require that no more than 10% of signatures on an initiative petition come from a county where 400,000 or more people reside. That would affect only residents of Tulsa and Oklahoma counties by capping the total share of signatures from those two counties at 20%."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Martinez-Keel |first=Nuria |date=19 March 2025 |title=Oklahoma Senate passes restrictions on initative petition process |url=https://www.kosu.org/local-news/2025-03-19/oklahoma-senate-passes-restrictions-on-initiative-petition-process |access-date=25 May 2025 |work=KOSU (NPR affiliate)}}</ref> This measure would make it significantly harder for Democrats to use petitions to organize referendums as Oklahoma City and Tulsa are areas with a greater concentration of Democratic voters. 

==== LGBT Rights ====
{{See also|LGBTQ rights in Oklahoma}}
ODP's LGBT wing is the [https://stonewall.okdemocrats.org/home Oklahoma Federation of Stonewall Democrats].<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Us |url=https://stonewall.okdemocrats.org/about-us |access-date=2025-05-25 |website=stonewall.okdemocrats.org |language=en-US}}</ref>

ODP is supportive of LGBT rights, including same-sex marriage and transgender healthcare, both of which are targeted by the Oklahoma Republican Party.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-07 |title=Human Rights Campaign Condemns Oklahoma Senate Passage of Three… |url=https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/human-rights-campaign-condemns-oklahoma-senate-passage-of-three-anti-lgbtq-bills-and-slams-oklahoma-house-for-censuring-rep-turner |access-date=2025-05-28 |website=HRC |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Current elected officials==
Democrats have not won the [[Oklahoma House of Representatives]] since 2002 nor the [[Oklahoma Senate|Oklahoma State Senate]] since 2006, when they last won any statewide election (with  Democrats winning  most statewide executive offices on the ballot that year). The last Democrat to hold statewide office in Oklahoma is Superintendent of Public Instruction [[Joy Hofmeister]], who switched parties from Republican to Democrat in October 2021 and subsequently left office in January 2023, having been term limited and unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Oklahoma in 2022. She was succeeded by Republican [[Ryan Walters (politician)|Ryan Walters]]. At least 2 of the current chiefs of the 5 Tribes are Democrats: [[Chuck Hoskin Jr.]] ([[Cherokee Nation]]), and [[Bill Anoatubby]] ([[Chickasaw Nation]]). Oklahoma’s congressional delegation has been entirely Republican since 2021 and previously from 2013 to 2019.
