Oklahoma gubernatorial election, 2006 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oklahoma gubernatorial election, 2006
The Oklahoma gubernatorial election of 2006 was held on November 7, 2006, and was a race for the Governor of Oklahoma. The incumbent Governor, Democrat Brad Henry, was re-elected with more than 60 percent of the vote, beating Republican Ernest Istook, a member of the United States House of Representatives (Congressional district 5).〔(2006 election results for governor ) (accessed May 28, 2010).〕 ==Background== Though Democrats had dominated state politics for most of Oklahoma's history, the Oklahoma Republican Party had recently gained control of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and held five of the state's six Congressional seats.〔Gaddie, Ronald Keith, "(Oklahoma Republican Party )," ''(Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture )'' (accessed May 28, 2010).〕 Henry's opponent, Republican Ernest Istook, was a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Oklahoma's 5th congressional district. As in many Southern states, Oklahoma has favored conservative Democrats to the more liberal members of the party. In his first term, Henry had supported some tax cuts and took centrist positions on many political hot button issues.
