Businessman and rancher Gentner Drummond is making another run for Oklahoma Attorney General. He is seeking the open office created by the resignation of Attorney General Mike Hunter. Drummond faced Hunter in the 2018 primary and runoff for Attorney General with a razor thin margin going to Hunter.
Drummond is looking to be a check and balance on Oklahoma’s political elite.
“We have seen the results of political cronyism and we have suffered the consequences of politicians who serve their own interests above those of We the People,” said Drummond. “I believe it’s more important now than ever to uphold the rule of law and protect the Constitutional, God-given rights of all Oklahomans.”
Drummond had a distinguished career in the U.S. Air Force flying 40 combat missions, including the first U.S. combat mission of the Gulf War. He has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and has received numerous other medals, ribbons and accolades. Drummond’s business experience includes banking, ranching and his law practice.
“I have always put service to country and community first,” said Drummond. “When my nation called, I didn’t hesitate. I was taught to lead when duty calls.”
Drummond is looking at this as a chance to serve as a watchdog for the people of Oklahoma.
“I will be the first to admit that I have never been the choice of the political elite,” said Drummond. “I wear their rejection as a badge of honor. I am not running for office to serve them–I am running to serve the People of Oklahoma.”
Drummond is 57 years old. He and his wife, Wendy have a blended family of six children and five grandchildren. They live in Tulsa and on their ranch near Hominy.
