Information About

Oklahoma Democratic Party




The Oklahoma Democratic party describes itself as neither Liberal or Conservative , but "squarely in the Center of the political spectrum."
The party mission statement goes on to say:

Unlike the Far Left , we know that less government is sometimes a better government, and that government cannot solve every difficulty faced by our society. But, unlike the Far Right , we understand there is a role for government to play in finding solutions to our country's problems.


The party has dominated local politics in Oklahoma almost since the days of early statehood in 1907 . In national politics, the party became a dominant force beginning with the U.S. Presidential Election Of 1932 and the Franklin D. Roosevelt political re-alignment. Since 1932 , the majority of members of Congress from Oklahoma have been Democrats, and of the 26 men who have been elected to the office of Governor Of Oklahoma , 22 have been Democrats. {Link without Title}
