Oklahoma elections: Drew Edmondson to leave politics
07/29/2010 After losing the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson says he doesn't plan to run for office again.

The latest member to be elected to the House is David Brumbaugh, a Republican from Broken Arrow. He will succeed Rep. John Wright, R-Broken Arrow, who could not seek re-election because of legislative term limits.

An Aug. 24 runoff will determine who will replace Rep. Mike Thompson, R-Oklahoma City, who passed up re-election to run for the 5th Congressional District seat; Thompson finished third.

Elise Hall and David Looby, both of Oklahoma City, were the top two vote getters in the Republican primary election for House District 100. Hall received 47.3 percent of the vote and Looby got 34.5 percent. The winner will win the post because no Democrat or independent had filed.
