Hofmeister and Stitt were the favorites in their races and both told KOCO 5 they were the best person to be Oklahoma’s next governor.
"So grateful, so many volunteers, so many have been stepping up and are ready for change and we are hitting the ground running today," Hofmeister said.
Stitt said the state has had success under his leadership that he wants to build on.
"Really excited to have a conversation about that with Oklahomans, like what direction do they want our state to go. And I believe they want to keep our schools open and give parents voices, so I’ll continue to grow our economy to become top 10," Stitt said.
Hofmeister claims the success the governor talks about is out of reach for too many Oklahomans. She said the state needs more quality jobs.
"I was talking to a mom who has three jobs, four kids, who says home ownership is out of reach for her. It shouldn’t be that way," Hofmeister said.
Stitt said he should be re-elected because he prioritizes what Oklahomans care about.
"As a businessman governor, they want me to hold Government accountable and make the economy the best It can possibly be and that’s what I’m going to continue to do," Stitt said.
Hofmeister said her priority will be unifying the state.
"It’s time to get back to those Oklahoma values of common sense, working together, respect for one another, and courage," Hofmeister said.
Oklahoma’s general election is set for Nov. 8.
