OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The two Democrats vying for Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional District Democratic nomination insist someone from their party can win in a Republican-leaning state, with President Barack Obama at the top of the ticket.

Incumbent Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., counters that he has represented the views of voters in his district, which extends from south Oklahoma City to the Texas state line, and westward just past Lawton. Tinker Air Force Base and Fort Sill Army post are part of the district.
