Trump-backed pastor set to QUIT after Daily Mail exposed kissing scandal with Miss Oklahoma
UK Daily Mail ^ | 06/17/2026 | ROSS IBBETSON

A Trump-backed pastor is preparing to drop out of Oklahoma's Republican primary after the Daily Mail exposed his intimate relationship with a campaign aide.

Jackson Lahmeyer's campaign manager last night told his team that the married father-of-five was dropping out of the race and taking a sabbatical from preaching, sources told the Daily Mail. A formal announcement is expected Friday.

Lahemeyer and his wife Kendra invited their congregation to a 'closed meeting' at Sheridan Church in Tulsa at 6.30pm Wednesday.

Donald Trump hours after the news broke shared on Truth Social that he was switching his endorsement to Lahmeyer's rival State Representative Mark Tedford.

'I greatly appreciate Jackson Lahmeyer’s hard work under difficult circumstances - He has always been with me, and I will always be with him. But, when it comes to the current Congressional race for Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, I will be supporting America First Patriot, Mark Tedford,' Trump said.

The Daily Mail has contacted Lahmeyer for comment.

Lahmeyer, the runaway frontrunner just a week ago, was forced into a runoff last night when he failed to clear the 50 percent threshold to win Oklahoma's 1st District, finishing with less votes than State Representative Mark Tedford.

The astonishing collapse comes after the bombshell Daily Mail investigation that exposed Lahmeyer's intimate relationship with campaign fundraiser Caitlin Simmons Key, a former Miss Oklahoma USA.

Key told the Daily Mail this week that she and Lahmeyer kissed on several occasions during the heat of the campaign. He sent her thousands of text messages, in one telling her 'I enjoyed those lips,' and recounted leaving Mar-a-Lago for a strip club at 1am after being offered cocaine, which he declined.

It’s important to get these guys out before they get elected, and are compromised in DC and obey DC forces to cover up what they do.

Looking at her doing her hot "come-on,"
it's hard to believe he only kissed her.

Ken Paxton of TX gets a free pass for his indiscretions because of timing and having a bigger political record of accomplishment to run off of.

Lower photo....
Maybe she’s innocent.

There was a TV mystery anthology series where Barbi Benton’s character seemed to be secretly having an affair with the strait laced minister murder suspect. Asked by the detective: “What was your relationship with him, then.?”
“He was ministering to my spiritual needs.” Turned out she was innocent.

Pastor may have had the Katy Perry song in ming.

I Kissed a Girl

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion.

It’s not what I’m used to
Just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you
Caught my attention.

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I kissed a girl and I liked it.

Nah...no apple and no banana.

But a couple of fake cantaloupes, and some funky wax lips.

Fake boobs and a skinny body. Not my type. She’s really not even that pretty.

The other pics of the woman on DM sure are not very pretty. She has a lot of make up on in the pic with the fuzzy shoes.

Nope. Not a pastor.

Just a Christian husband of 38 years and father who wants the 10 Commandments in every classroom in the state.

I wanted Paxton as AG. The Senate GOPe did not. I hope Paxton wins. I would vote for him if I lived in Texas.
