Independent Candidate for Governor of Oklahoma · 2026
Dr. Jerry Griffin
A servant leader with the credentials, courage, and conviction to govern for ALL Oklahomans.
About the Candidate
Dr. Jerry Griffin is a physician, author, community leader, and independent candidate for Governor of Oklahoma. With decades of service to patients, families, and communities across the state, Dr. Griffin brings a rare combination of medical expertise, real-world problem-solving, and principled independence to Oklahoma's highest office.
Born and raised with deep roots in Oklahoma, Dr. Griffin has spent his career in service — first as a physician dedicated to healing individuals, then as an author and advocate working to heal communities. His three books — written for and about the people of Oklahoma — reflect his commitment to truth, dignity, and the belief that every Oklahoman deserves a voice in their government.
Dr. Griffin runs as an Independent because he believes the two-party system has failed ordinary Oklahomans. Career politicians beholden to party bosses and special interests cannot deliver the honest, effective governance the people deserve. Dr. Griffin answers to no party — only to the people of Oklahoma.
His platform is built on healthcare access, educational equity, economic opportunity for working families, and restoring integrity to state government. He brings to the Governor's office not political ambition, but a physician's discipline: diagnose the problem honestly, prescribe evidence-based solutions, and follow through with accountability.

Why I'm Running
A Doctor's Diagnosis for Oklahoma
Oklahoma deserves a Governor who works for the people — not the party. I am running because I have seen firsthand what happens when politics replaces principle: families go without healthcare, schools are underfunded, and working Oklahomans are left behind. I am not a politician. I am a doctor, an author, and a neighbor. I will bring the same discipline, honesty, and care to the Governor's office that I have brought to every patient, every page, and every community I have served.
