Incumbent Sen. Chuck Hall secured a third consecutive term in the Oklahoma Senate on Tuesday, defeating challenger Mark LeMarr in the Republican primary for Senate District 20.
Hall received 6,707 votes (56.42%) compared to LeMarr’s 5,180 votes (43.58%), according to unofficial election results. The race drew 11,887 total votes, including absentee, early voting, and Election Day ballots.
The victory secures Hall’s third and final four-year term in the Oklahoma Senate. Under Oklahoma law, legislators are limited to 12 years of service in the Legislature, making Hall term-limited at the conclusion of this term.
Hall carried four of the five counties in Senate District 20, winning Kingfisher County by 41 votes, Noble County by 663 votes, Pawnee County by 669 votes, and Payne County by 496 votes. Hall, a Perry resident, benefited from a strong showing in his home county of Noble.
LeMarr, a pastor from Crescent, carried only Logan County but did so by a significant margin, winning the county by 342 votes.
The Logan County Election Board will look to certify the numbers on Friday.
