Twenty state senators and representatives from the Oklahoma legislature have gotten behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president.
These endorsements come ahead of DeSantis’ visit to Tulsa on Saturday.
DeSantis has been gaining endorsements from state lawmakers in key early primary states. He received support from more than 50 lawmakers in New Hampshire and 37 in Iowa before his presidential announcement on May 24.
Since then, four more New Hampshire state representatives got behind DeSantis, with state Rep. Kristine Perez flipping from former President Donald Trump.

“We need a two-term president to unwind the unconstitutional and disastrous polices out of Washington, D.C. that has bolstered the federal government’s power to pick winners and losers across America,” said Rep. Jon Echols, Majority Leader of the Oklahoma House. “Ron DeSantis has the courageous vision and the fighting power to give Oklahomans representation of our conservative cause for eight years, and I am confident he can deliver the election victory we need.”
“Ron DeSantis has a proven record of governing, protecting freedom and promoting the rights of States, parents, and small businesses,” said Sen. Lonnie Paxton, Chairman of the Oklahoma Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee. “We need eight years of his leadership to revive America’s greatness as an economic powerhouse and global leader in energy dominance and independence, and I am proud to support him in his bid to become our next president.”
Along with the three members of the House leadership and Paxton, Sens. Chris Kidd, Roland Pederson, John Michael Montgomery, and Brent Howard, as well as Reps. Mike Osburn, Neil Hays, Ryan Martinez, Nick Archer, Anthony Moore, Dell Kerbs, Mark Lepak, Josh West, Chris Kannady, Chad Caldwell, Terry O’Donnell, and Chris Sneed endorsed DeSantis for president.
