The second congressional district of Oklahoma is one of five congressional districts in Oklahoma . It covers about a quarter of the area of the state and is located in eastern Oklahoma. It borders Arkansas , Kansas , Missouri and Texas and includes all or part of 24 counties of the state.
Historically, the district tended to vote for conservative Democratic Party candidates and was considered the classic Yellow Dog Democrat constituency. The trend in favor of the Republican Party in the state has meant that its candidates have consistently won the constituency since the beginning of the 21st century. In the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, the Republican candidate prevailed here with the largest majority of all congressional electoral districts. The urban electorate represents around a third of the electoral district's voters.
The current Congressman is Republican Markwayne Mullin , his predecessor Tom Coburn was the first Republican MP in that constituency since 1923.
