Welcome to OKDemVets
We are a statewide federation of Democratic veterans, military family members, and civilians, all working together to elect veteran-friendly Democrats to office in Oklahoma. We welcome new members.
OKDemVets Secretary Gary Harris, Adam Martin, and OKDemVets President Rita Maxwell at the 2023 Okmulgee Labor Day Parade.
Our federation is very active. If there is an event in any part of the state – a parade, fish fry, or any Democratic gathering where there may be veterans, let us know and we will be there.
This was the float of the Washington County Democratic Party float in their local Veterans Day Parade in downtown Bartlesville.
2024 Candidate Statements
We are currently reaching out to all Oklahoma Democratic Party candidates to survey their connections to veterans and military-connected people such as spouses and family members of active-duty military and veterans.
We assess their understanding of veterans issues, and will announce endorsements soon. If you are a candidate for office, please contact us.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party Veterans Federation endorses candidates based on their responses to our questionnaires. Each election cycle we ask candidates to respond to our questionnaire about their experience with and views on veterans issues. Here, please read the candidates responses in their own words: Candidates Statements.
