1974 Oklahoma gubernatorial election

The 1974 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 1974, and was a race for Governor of Oklahoma. Democrat David Boren defeated Clem McSpadden in a run-off to claim his party's nomination after embattled incumbent David Hall was eliminated in the initial primary. Boren won the general election handily over Republican Jim Inhofe., who later won a 1994 U.S. Senate special election triggered by Boren's impending resignation to become the University of Oklahoma's President.
