A Republican running for attorney general in Oklahoma has contributed roughly $10,000 to 11 Democratic candidates for state and federal office since 2004, including President Joe Biden, according to records reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Gentner Drummond, a Tulsa attorney and wealthy businessman facing Attorney General John O’Connor in the general election, has a history of financially backing Democrats, Federal Election Commission (FEC) and Oklahoma Ethics Commission records show.
Drummond, who also ran in 2018 for attorney general, refunded his $1,000 contribution to Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 nine days after it was issued, according to FEC records. FEC records also show Drummond contributed $1,000 to candidate Matt Silverstein in his 2014 campaign to unseat Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, and $1,450 to candidate John Olson in his 2012 race for Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District.
Drummond gave $2,500 combined to former Democratic Oklahoma Rep. Dan Boren in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010, according to FEC data, and $1,000 to former Democratic Oklahoma Rep. Brad Carson in 2004. His contributions to state Democrats, some of which are also from his wife, add up to roughly $3,500, according to state records.

Primary is June 28th
Donald Trump donated to democrats in the past.
This alone is not a disqualifier.
The fact they are pointing it out means more to me... why are the media trying to make sure he doesn’t get elected?
If he was a true Democrat in disguise they would have kept quiet about this.
Looks like he's already secured the nomination.
That’s a wording error. The primary is June 28th.

...$10,000 to 11 candidates... -Wow!
I guess someone had to tip the bartender, right?
He donated to Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign.
Liberals have been infiltrating the GOP for years.
It’s one thing to have donated to democrats in the south in the past but a donation to Biden 2020 is a disqualifier
Drummond has disqualified himself both by his denials and by failing to stand up for conservative values,” said Republican Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor. “Oklahomans cannot trust him. Trump supporters and conservatives cannot trust him.”
I HATE this, BUT ANY Republican will vote a little better than ANY DEMOCRAT would! ASnd definitely be better on CRIME!
Because the Daily Caller is considered a conservative news outlet and likely the only source reporting this information.....
You are obviously more intelligent than others.
How many Republicans did he donate to during the same same? He was a lawyer and I understand the contributions in 2004 in OK.
Smart thinking!
So called assistant Democrats vote for some conservative issues. Real Democrats zero, zip, nada.
In real life it is always better to gain something over lose everything.
John O’Connor is a personal friend. He teaches Bible studies at our Church, and talks on marriage. He is strongly pro-life. John O’Connor is absolutley the best person for AG.
He donated to Tom Coburn’s opponent. There’s no way he’s a genuine conservative. If he’s a Republican he’ll be a RINO in office.

With friends like him who needs enemies?
True politician, if he ran in an area populated by aardvarks, he would run as an aardvark.
Yes! I Are! (is?)
BUT did he also donate to Trump campaign?? Business people tend to donate to both sides!!!
