On Tuesday, Republican Representative Stephanie Bice successfully secured reelection to her U.S. House seat that serves Oklahoma. Bice faced off against Democrat Madison Horn, a cybersecurity specialist hailing from Oklahoma City, and emerged victorious in the race.
Having previously served as a state senator from Edmond, Bice originally claimed this Oklahoma City-area seat from a Democrat in 2020. Following her initial victory, the GOP-controlled Legislature undertook a redistricting process that altered the boundaries of her district. This change effectively removed more Democratic-leaning areas in southern Oklahoma City, replacing them with conservative rural regions from the adjacent counties, a strategic move designed to safeguard the Republican representation in the seat.
The announcement of Bice’s win was made by news organizations at 9:46 p.m. EST on election night, confirming her continued influence in the U.S. House as a representative from Oklahoma.
