House District 77
(NonDoc)

Rep. Eric Proctor (D-Tulsa) is ineligible for re-election due to term limits. His exit has drawn two Democrats and one Republican to fill his seat.

As such, the House District 77 race features a technology company CEO, a social worker and a public school teacher. The teacher lost to Sen. Dave Rader (R-Tulsa) in a competitive race during 2016.

The primary will be held June 26. A runoff-primary election is not possible. Candidates are listed below in alphabetical order by party.
