Oklahoma GOP Primary: Incumbent Tom Cole Faces Costly Challenge from Paul Bondar

Longtime Rep. Tom Cole confronts a well-funded opponent in a high-stakes primary battle marked by heavy spending and residency questions.

Tom Cole, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, is up against businessman Paul Bondar, who has invested over $5 million of his own money into the campaign.
Bondar recently moved from Texas to Oklahoma, raising questions about his residency, which Cole has used to attack him.
The primary has become one of the most expensive House races this year, with both candidates spending millions on advertisements.
Cole has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, while Bondar criticizes Cole's support of foreign aid, especially to Ukraine.
If no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, a runoff election will be held in August.
