The 2018 election season is now underway. Republicans continue to dominate state offices, but Democrats are seeing signs of momentum for their party. Each party feels that there is a lot at stake in Oklahoma's upcoming elections.

Oklahoma Watch hosted "The Elections Ahead" public forum in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Aug. 29, to discuss pressing issues, candidates and trends surrounding the 2018 statewide and legislative elections. Panelists included Democratic Party chair Anna Langthorn, Republican Party chair Pam Pollard, and SoonerPoll.com's Bill Shapard.
