TULSA, Okla. -

The results are in following Tuesday's runoff elections.

Perhaps no race was more closely watched than the GOP runoff in the special Senate election to replace Jim Inhofe.

After months of campaigning, Congressman Markwayne Mullin defeated former state House Speaker TW Shannon by more than 30 points.

He will face former congresswoman Kendra Horn in November and inflation is top of mind.

"It starts with energy. Energy is the backbone of every product and every good we ship. Energy starts making the product and it delivers the product," Senate candidate Markwayne Mullin said.

Mullin and Horn join Libertarian Robert Murphy and independent Ray Woods on the November ballot.
