2026 isn’t just another election year, it’s a defining moment for Oklahoma’s conservative grassroots.
By Christian Garner of Paden Oklahoma where he is OKGOP Okfuskee County Chairman.
Multiple Senate seats are up for grabs, more than fifteen across the state. Some have incumbents, others are term-limited, but every single one is a battleground. And make no mistake: if we organize, mobilize, and unite behind bold, unapologetic conservative candidates, we can flip the Oklahoma State Senate and reshape the direction of this state for a generation.
For too long, we’ve watched weak Republicans fold under pressure, cut backroom deals, and say one thing back home while doing the exact opposite at the Capitol. We’re tired of lip service. We’re tired of cowards in suits. And we’re done waiting for permission to take our party and our state back.
The truth is the grassroots are the base of the Republican Party, and it’s time we start acting like it. We’ve got the numbers. We’ve got the energy. And now, in 2026, we’ve got the opportunity.
We’ve already seen what happens when grassroots candidates run bold, unapologetic campaigns. When they speak the truth, connect with voters directly, and stay rooted in faith, freedom, and grit, THEY WIN.
Imagine that happening all across the state.
Imagine a Senate that doesn’t kill conservative bills in committee.
A Senate that backs the people instead of appeasing the lobbyists.
A Senate that fights like it believes what it says on the campaign trail.
This is our shot to make that happen, but only if we rise to the occasion. That means finding strong grassroots candidates in every district. It means helping them raise money, knock doors, and build local coalitions. It means holding incumbents accountable and where they’ve gone soft, replacing them with true fighters.
It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. This is about sending a message loud and clear: we will not be ignored. We will not be silenced. We’re done with empty rhetoric. We want results.
And here’s the thing: we don’t need millions of dollars to win. We need thousands of patriots who are willing to do the work to show up, speak out, and take action. This is what grassroots power looks like: ordinary people doing extraordinary things because they love their state, their faith, and their freedom too much to sit on the sidelines.
So, here’s your call to action:
- Recruit bold candidates. Not polished, not perfect — principled.
- Knock on doors. Voters don’t trust ads — they trust neighbors.
- Give what you can. Every dollar fuels the fight.
- Push past fear. Courage is contagious, and Oklahoma needs it now more than ever.
The establishment will say it can’t be done. That we’re too small, too divided, too unorganized. But they’ve said that before and they were dead wrong.
Now’s the time.
Dozens of communities.
One movement.
Let’s flip the Senate and remind Oklahoma who’s really in charge!
