Molly Jenkins is the Republican state representative for Oklahoma House District 33, covering eastern Logan County and part of Payne County. She won the seat in 2024 by defeating incumbent John Talley in a landslide primary upset, and does not accept campaign contributions from registered lobbyists.

Notable stances

Wind energy and transmission line opposition

Jenkins has been an active opponent of wind-turbine and transmission-line development in her district, including the Cimarron Link project. She has proposed a resolution against the project, addressed opposition groups at community meetings, and encouraged constituents facing eminent domain threats to contact her office. She has also introduced legislation to restrict the use of eminent domain by private developers building transmission lines tied to subsidized power generation.

Campaign finance and 2026 primary

Jenkins defeated Talley in 2024 while spending roughly $10.93 per vote compared to his $62.55, one of the largest-margin upset wins by a Republican House challenger over an incumbent since 2018. Seeking renomination in 2026 against a challenge from Cushing City Commissioner B.J. Robinson, she has faced multiple rounds of outside "dark money" mail and advertising attacks, including criticism of her wind-energy positions and of a 2025 vote against legislation addressing disruptions near church services. Jenkins has responded with a rapid-response social media and mail operation funded largely by small-dollar local donations.
