Five Oklahoma House incumbents representing Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Bixby will face challengers on Nov. 3.

The contested seats span House Districts 75, 76, 78, 79 and 80, according to Tulsa County election filings. Three Republicans and two Democrats hold the seats. Four face major-party opponents, and one faces an independent.

The highest-profile matchup is in District 79. Rep. Melissa Provenzano, 54, D-Tulsa, will meet Republican Paul Hassink, 69, for the third consecutive general election. Provenzano, a former public school teacher who serves as an assistant minority leader, defeated Hassink in both 2022 and 2024, as NonDoc reported. Hassink, an engineer who spent 40 years at American Electric Power Services, serves on the City of Tulsa Sales Tax Overview Committee.

This is their third matchup.

In District 75, Rep. T.J. Marti, R-Broken Arrow, faces Democrat Joe Watkins of Tulsa. Marti, first elected in 2018, chairs the House Alcohol, Tobacco and Controlled Substances Committee. Watkins revived his father's woodworking business, Wood Dimensions Co., in 2021 and co-founded From Heart to Hand Outreach, which provides supplies to homeless Tulsans. Indivisible Tulsa County endorsed Watkins in September 2026.

District 76 pits Rep. Ross Ford, 65, R-Broken Arrow, against Democrat Michael Tinsley, 35, of Broken Arrow. Ford spent more than 25 years with the Tulsa Police Department before joining the Legislature in 2017. A vehicle struck his police motorcycle while he was on duty in 2007. He authored House Bill 4104, signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt on May 12, which increases penalties for repeat peeping Tom offenses and requires certain repeat offenders to register as sex offenders. The law takes effect Nov. 1.

In District 78, Rep. Meloyde Blancett, 70, D-Tulsa, faces independent Tony Oliva, 62. Blancett has held the seat since 2016 and authored House Bill 4408, which became law on May 12 without the governor's signature. It creates a process for calculating savings tied to State Question 780. The Tulsa Beacon reported it could not locate a campaign website or platform information for Oliva.

District 80 features Democrat Jeremy Founds of Bixby challenging Rep. Stan May, R-Broken Arrow, chair of the House Republican Caucus. May spent more than 30 years as a firefighter and served two years as president of Tulsa Firefighters Local 176 before retiring from the Tulsa Fire Department in 2021. He authored House Bill 3831, signed by Stitt on May 12, which designates Oklahoma Task Force 1 as the state's official urban search-and-rescue deployment team and creates a revolving fund for it. Founds, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served from 2000 to 2006, later studied social work at the University of Oklahoma. His campaign emphasizes education, healthcare affordability and transparency around data centers and water use.

The general election is Nov. 3.
