About James Lankford

Meet James Lankford

James Lankford is a strong conservative and servant leader who is committed to God, Family and the Constitution.

Elected to the United States Senate in 2014. James has worked diligently for all Oklahomans, studying each issue and its direct impact on the family and people. He has earned the respect of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle for his knowledge on the pressing issues facing the country.

While remaining passionate about life and traditional family values, James has become a strong voice for fiscal discipline and accountability in the federal government. He has emerged as a leader in fighting government regulations that are suffocating business and weakening the economy.
