Federal Representation
Oklahoma's two U.S. Senators are elected at-large:
- Senior Senator Jim Inhofe (Republican)
- Junior Senator Tom Coburn (Republican)
Oklahoma currently has five congressional districts. There were 6th, 7th, and 8th districts, as many as three at-large districts, but they have been eliminated.
U.S. House of Representatives:
- Oklahoma's 1st congressional district covers the northeastern corner of the state and it borders Kansas to the north — Rep. Jim Bridenstine (Republican).
- Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district covers (approximately) the eastern one-fourth of the state, bordering Kansas to the north, Missouri and Arkansas to the east, and Texas along the Red River to the south — Rep. Markwayne Mullin (Republican).
- Oklahoma's 3rd congressional district covers all of western Oklahoma and borders New Mexico to the west, Colorado and Kansas to the north, and the Texas panhandle to the south — Rep. Frank Lucas (Republican).
- Oklahoma's 4th congressional district covers south-central Oklahoma and borders Texas along the Red River to the south — Rep. Tom Cole (Republican).
- Oklahoma's 5th congressional district covers central Oklahoma and borders all of the other congressional districts except District 1. — Rep. James Lankford (Republican).

Famous quotes containing the word federal:
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
