OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Democrats have chosen 34-year-old political newcomer Donna Bebo of Fletcher as the party’s nominee in Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional District.
Bebo defeated Bert Smith of Moore in Tuesday’s primary and will face incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Cole and independent R.J. Harris in the November general election.

Smith has said he will support Bebo and both say they believe a Democrat can win in Oklahoma — a state considered to be among the reddest of the red states.
Bebo says she believes she will have support from the military because her husband is retired from the U.S. Army. She says she’s not concerned about being on the ballot with President Barack Obama — despite Obama failing to win any of Oklahoma’s 77 counties in 2008.
