Four Republican incumbents have lost primary battles for seats in the Oklahoma state legislature.

Voters in all 77 counties in the southern state went to the polls on Tuesday to vote in a series of primary votes for state legislature positions and four incumbent GOP figures were defeated by challengers within their party.

Oklahoma Senate floor leader Greg McCortney, who had been tapped as the next president pro tempore, lost the Republican primary to Jonathan Wingard in the Senate District 13 race. Wingard received 52 percent of the vote and McCortney received 48 percent.

Only Republican candidates entered this race so Wingard will be sworn in as the district's new representative in November.

Jessica Garvin lost her seat in the Oklahoma State Senate to McClain County assessor Kendal Sacchieri, who received 53 percent of the vote to her 47 percent. Sacchieri will run against Democratic candidate Sam Graefe in November.

It’s interesting that certain types that have infiltrated and taken over this forum have attempted to redefine the meaning of terms like Conservative, RINO, Republican, Neo-Con, Isolationist and Protectionist. Confusing the meanings is a means of confusing the argument.

I have no idea what Bondar really believes or stands for in his political philosophy. He never really made that clear. All he did was throw out a few catch words and claim he was better than Cole. He wanted to wrap himself around Trump but that didn’t work and he obviously didn’t like opposing Putin, which didn’t work, either. It was a gamble he was any better than Cole. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don’t know. Maybe Bondar is another RINO posing as a Conservative Republican just like he was a Wisconsin born Illinoisan posing as an Oklahoman.

He spent five million for 16,120 votes. Good ridance.
