Just a day after he secured the endorsement of the Association of Oklahoma General Contractors, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond received an endorsement for his bid for governor by the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA). Drummond is a cattle rancher.
“OCA is pleased to be able to support Attorney General Gentner Drummond for Governor in 2026,” said Dr. Troy Shelby, OCA President. “General Drummond is a fifth-generation cattle rancher and a life-time member of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association who knows the challenges and the opportunities of the Oklahoma beef cattle raiser. His work as Attorney General in addressing cattle theft, illegal business operations, particularly marijuana grows, and pushing back on federal regulation overreach has been great these past two years. OCA looks forward to working with him as Governor to continue protecting and improving the business climate for Oklahoma beef cattle ranchers and all Oklahomans.”
Drummond says that he is grateful for the OCA’s endorsement.
“The Cattlemen’s Association’s work is vital to protecting the thousands of families across our state who raise cattle. The cattle industry is stronger because of their advocacy. I am honored and grateful that they trust me to lead the great state of Oklahoma.”
Drummond is the first major candidate to declare for the Oklahoma Governor’s Race during the 2026 election cycle.
