Todd Lamb (politician)

Lamb was a member of the Oklahoma Senate from 2004 to 2011, representing the 47th Senate District (which includes part of Oklahoma City as well as Edmond). He faced no opposition in the 2008 election.

In August 2009, introduced a bill requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds and offer women information about the tests before performing abortions. The bill was struck down. As majority floor leader, Lamb was ex officio member of all committees.

Lamb in 2011

On July 1, 2009, Lamb filed to run for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma in the 2010 elections. Senator Lamb made his announcement in late August 2009. As part of the announcement, Senator Lamb held events in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Enid, and Lawton.

Lamb faced four Republican primary election opponents in John A. Wright (R-Broken Arrow), a member of the Oklahoma State House, Bill Crozier (a former Republican candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction), Bernie Adler (an Oklahoma City real estate investor), and Paul Nosak (a tree removal service owner from Oklahoma City), and won the primary election with over 66% of the votes cast, thus avoiding a runoff.[7]

In the general election, Lamb faced Democrat Kenneth Corn and independent candidate Richard Prawdzienski and won with over 64% of the votes cast.[8]

During his tenure, Lamb served in the cabinet of Mary Fallin as Small Business Advocate. He resigned from that position on February 16, 2017, due to his opposition to proposed tax increases.[9]

Lamb ran in the Republican primary for Governor of Oklahoma in the 2018 election.[10]

He lost the primary election on June 26 to Mick Cornett, former mayor of Oklahoma City, and businessman Kevin Stitt. Stitt won the runoff and later defeated former attorney general Drew Edmondson in the November general election.
