Oklahoma's 4th congressional district is located in south-central Oklahoma and covers (in whole or in part) a total of 15 counties. Its principal cities include Midwest City, Norman, Moore, Ada, Duncan, Lawton/Ft. Sill, and Ardmore. The district also includes much of southern Oklahoma City.
The district is currently represented by Republican Tom Cole.
The district borders Texas along the Red River to the south. To the north, the district includes a very small square-shaped portion of south-central Oklahoma County (enough to capture the city of Midwest City) and then Cleveland, McClain, Grady, Garvin, Murray, Pontotoc, Comanche, Tillman, Cotton, Stephens, Jefferson, Carter, and Love counties.
As with the rest of the state, the district gives GOP candidates wide margins - George W. Bush received 61 percent of the vote in 2000, 67% in 2004, and John McCain received 66% of the vote in 2008. Mitt Romney received 67% in 2012, and Donald Trump received 66% and 65% in 2016 and 2020, respectively. The district is 63 percent urban, 5 percent Latino, and 3.5 percent foreign-born.[3]
