OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — Jon Echols has been elected Oklahoma’s next Attorney General, securing a victory built on his commitment to public safety, constitutional freedoms, government accountability, and equal justice under the law.
Surrounded by family, friends, and supporters on election night, Echols expressed gratitude to Oklahoma voters and pledged to serve every citizen of the state.
“Tonight, the people of Oklahoma have given me the greatest professional honor of my life,” Echols said. “Throughout this campaign, we’ve talked about building a safer, freer, stronger Oklahoma. Tonight, that message becomes our mission.”
Echols, who served as Majority Floor Leader in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, brings extensive experience in state government, private legal practice, and small business ownership to the Attorney General’s office.
His campaign earned the support of 68 of Oklahoma’s 77 county sheriffs, the Oklahoma Fraternal Order of Police, the Professional Firefighters of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Retired Firefighters, and conservative organizations across the state.
Echols outlined three priorities for his administration:
A Safer Oklahoma: Supporting law enforcement, holding criminals accountable, and protecting Oklahoma families and communities.
A Freer Oklahoma: Defending constitutional rights, protecting individual liberties, and ensuring government remains accountable to the people.
A Stronger Oklahoma: Serving as an advocate for taxpayers, rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and ensuring equal justice under the law.
Echols also reflected on his family’s humble beginnings and the influence of his parents, David and Eileen Echols.
“I’m just two generations removed from poverty,” Echols said. “My parents taught me the value of hard work, education, and the rule of law. I believe the law is the great equalizer. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, who you know, or where you come from. Every Oklahoman deserves equal justice under the law.”
He offered special thanks to his wife, Kristen Echols; their children, David and his wife Kaylynn, Ethan and his wife Allison, and daughter Kaylee; for their unwavering love and support.
Closing his remarks, Echols extended a message of unity to all Oklahomans, regardless of their vote.
“To those who didn’t vote for me, I want you to know that I will be your Attorney General, too,” Echols said. “Justice isn’t Republican or Democrat. The Constitution doesn’t belong to one political party. My responsibility is to serve every single Oklahoman.”
“Tonight, we celebrate. But tomorrow, we get to work. I will never forget the trust the people of Oklahoma have placed in me, and I will fight every single day to build a safer, freer, stronger Oklahoma.”
