Gov. Stitt Approves New Maps For Oklahoma's Congressional Districts, 1 New District Map For State House

Gov. Kevin Stitt signed six redistricting bills into law Monday.

These bills approved the new maps for Oklahoma's five congressional districts and one district map for the state House of Representatives.

The new congressional maps keep nearly 90% of Oklahomans in the same district, a news release said.

Many Oklahoma City residents and Democratic representatives were unhappy with the new congressional districts when they saw parts of Oklahoma City were moved to the 3rd congressional district from the 5th congressional district.

“I am grateful to members of the Oklahoma Legislature who carried out their constitutional responsibility and redrawing these district maps,” Stitt said in a news release. “Following an open and transparent process that included public input, these maps were passed with majority support in both the House and the Senate and I am pleased to execute the will of Oklahomans by signing these new maps into law.”
