Oklahoma Senate
Ally Seifried ran for the Oklahoma Senate in 2022 for retiring Senator Marty Quinn's 2nd district seat. She faced three other candidates in the Republican primary: Keith Austin, Jarrin Jackson, and Coy Jenkins.[1] Seifried advanced to a runoff against Jarrin Jackson, who had gained national attention during the campaign for his social media presence which the Tulsa World described as "anti-Semitic, homophobic and conspiracy-laced."
