Monday, June 19, 2006 Odds Against Henry's Re-Election Only two Oklahoma governors have won re-election
The Norman Transcript (excerpt)
Gov. Brad Henry is asking the voters to elect him for another four-year term. That's a trick only four former guvs have tried and only two have turned.
The governors who have served consecutive terms are Democrat George Nigh, originally from McAlester, and Republican Frank Keating, formerly of Tulsa. It might be argued that Nigh served three consecutive terms.
The two incumbent chief executives who lost re-election bids were both Tulsans, Republican Dewey Bartlett and Democrat David Hall. Bartlett, who beat Preston Moore of Oklahoma City in 1966, lost to Hall in 1970.
