The Congressional races are taking shape for the upcoming general election.

In District 1, Congressman John Sullivan will get the chance to run for his fifth term in Congress.  The incumbent won easily on Tuesday over challenger Fran Moghaddam.  On the Democratic side, Georgianna Oliver defeated Mark Manley.

Oklahoma's only Democrat in Congress is looking to head back to Washington.  District 2's Dan Boren defeated primary challenger Kevin Coleman on Tuesday.  He'll face Okmulgee Republican Raymond Wickson in November. 

And, in District 5, Mary Fallin knows who she's up against.  The Republican congresswoman will face Steven Perry in November.  The Oklahoma attorney last ran for office back in 1980.
