Citizenship Test Answers for Oklahoma
Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Oklahoma.
62. What is the capital of your state?
Answer for Oklahoma
Oklahoma City
This is the one state-specific answer that does not change. The three below change with elections. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.
23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
Answer for Oklahoma now
- Alan Armstrong
- James Lankford
You only need to give one of these names.
Oklahoma has two U.S. senators, like every state. You only need to name one of them. Senators are elected to six-year terms, so this answer changes; give the name of a senator serving on the day of your interview.
Look up Oklahoma's senators at senate.gov
29. Name your U.S. representative.
Your representative depends on your congressional district, not just your state, so it is different for two people living in the same city. Look it up by ZIP code.
All 5 of Oklahoma's representatives, by district
| District | Representative |
|---|---|
| 1 | Kevin Hern |
| 2 | Josh Brecheen |
| 3 | Frank D. Lucas |
| 4 | Tom Cole |
| 5 | Stephanie I. Bice |
If you do not know your district, the lookup below finds it from your ZIP code.
Find your representative at house.gov
Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.
61. Who is the governor of your state now?
Answer for Oklahoma now
Kevin Stitt
Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your
interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable
place to check.
Background on Oklahoma
Oklahoma City is both Oklahoma's capital and its largest city, taking the seat from Guthrie in 1910, three years after statehood. Oklahoma became the 46th state in 1907, formed by joining Oklahoma Territory with Indian Territory. It has 5 congressional districts and 7 electoral votes. That history explains something about the tribes question on the test: many nations answering to eastern names, the Cherokee and Choctaw and Creek among them, have their seats of government in Oklahoma because nineteenth-century removal policy forced them here along the route remembered as the Trail of Tears. Of the four state answers, only the capital stays the same year to year. The state also supplies part of the Great Depression story the test asks about, since the drought and dust storms of the 1930s drove farm families off the land here.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
