SEMINOLE, OK — The Oklahoma Democratic Party will hold a press conference calling on State Representative Danny Williams to immediately withdraw his name from the November ballot and end his re-election campaign.
A candidate may withdraw from the General Election by filing a written notice before 5:00 p.m. on the Friday following the Runoff Primary Election – Friday, August 28, 2026. (See 26 O.S. § 5-116.1)
The press conference will be held Monday, August 24th 10:00 a.m. at the Seminole Public Library and is open to the public. Oklahomans who believe Danny Williams should resign and end his campaign are encouraged to attend and make their voices heard.

This is about accountability and the trust voters place in their elected representatives.”
Following the press conference, the Oklahoma Democratic Party will host a community town hall, providing residents an opportunity to share their concerns, ask questions, and discuss the issues facing their community and state.
