7News Political Analyst Justin Allen Rose sits down with Lawton Mayor Stan Booker to discuss important issues within the city.

Welcome back to For the Record, I'm your host Justin Allen Rose, and for this episode, you can hear the conversation I recently had with Christopher Wilson who is the CEO of EyesOver and Stratus Intelligence. Chris and I talked about a recent poll released by Stratus Intelligence which a lot of people are claiming flipped the GOP race for Oklahoma Governor on its head. Enjoy.

While typically you'd have to wait 2 weeks for another episode of For the Record, this week you're getting a double dosage because I just got out of a zoom call with Republican Oklahoma Senator James Lankford. During that conversation, we talked all about the government shutdown, from what led to the shutdown to the key sticking points keeping an agreed upon deal from being put into place.

With Governor Kevin Stitt term-limited, Oklahoma's 2026 governor's race is wide open for the first time in eight years—and the battle lines are already drawn. In this episode, political scientist Dr. Justin Allen Rose breaks down the crowded field, from long-shot candidates to the three names that are already ahead of the rest: Attorney General Gentner Drummond, former House Speaker Charles McCall, and Democratic Minority Leader Cyndi Munson.

In this episode, we’re talking about a topic that has become increasingly rare in our politics: civility. From heated exchanges online to the growing divides we see in our communities, it feels harder than ever to have meaningful conversations across differences.

To explore this issue, I sat down with Oklahoma State Representative Daniel Pae (R-Lawton). Known for his bipartisan approach and commitment to respectful dialogue, Representative Pae shared his thoughts on what civility really means, how it plays out at the Oklahoma State Capitol, and what each of us can do to bridge divides in our own conversations…. This is For the Record.

The 60th Oklahoma Legislative session began with Gov. Stitt delivering his State of the State address, with a response from Oklahoma House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson.
