Brandon Wade

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am a rural Oklahoman from Washington County. I’m not a politician, I’m a Representative. I am the committee chairman for my Union as well as the Vice President for IUOE local 351 Executive Board. My experience with my job with the Union has taught me how to represent all our members and the ability to listen, negotiate, and work out deals that works best for everyone. I’m ready to take this skill to our Congress to return it to a functional part of our government. We must return to the days when we can put our party views aside, so we can create laws that are best for the majority of our nation. It’s time to put the people first and get back to representing all of our constituents."

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighteen candidates ran for Oklahoma’s five U.S. House districts, including six Democrats and 12 Republicans. That’s 3.6 candidates per district, less than in the previous three election cycles. There were 5.6 candidates per district in 2022, 5.4 candidates per district in 2020, and 7.2 in 2018.

The total number of candidates that ran for the U.S. House in Oklahoma in 2024 is also fewer than any other year this decade.

No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. One House seat was open in 2022, 2018, and 2014, respectively. No seats were open in 2020 and 2016.

Seven candidates—two Democrats and five Republicans—ran for the 4th Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in Oklahoma in 2024.

Five primaries—two Democratic and three Republican—were contested in 2024. Four primaries were contested in 2022, and six were contested in 2020.

Three incumbents—all Republicans—were in contested primaries in 2024. Three incumbents were in contested primaries in 2022, 2020, 2018, and 2014, respectively. Five incumbents were in contested primaries in 2016.

The 3rd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. Republicans filed to run in every congressional district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.
