Jake Merrick is a devoted Christian, married for 15 years to his wife, and a proud father of two homeschooled daughters, ages 16 and 11. As an adoptive parent, he understands that the nuclear family is the core unit of our society, and he will lead with a Family First Agenda. A seminary graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Baptist University and a Master’s of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Jake is also an author, entrepreneur, professor and former pastor who has dedicated his life to serving others through teaching, speaking, and leadership. His commitment to fitness and active living reflects his belief in personal responsibility and stewardship. Jake served as a State Senator for Oklahoma’s District 22 from 2021 to 2022, gaining insight into the political system he now seeks to reform—a cause he championed on his popular morning radio show, “The Jake Merrick Show,” on Freedom 96.9 FM, for 2.5 years until stepping away to run for governor. He also hosts the “Jake for the State” podcast, engaging Oklahomans on key issues. Announcing his candidacy on April 28,2025, Jake brings his legislative experience and media platform to the 2026 governor’s race, vowing to prioritize the future of Oklahoma through a campaign focused on its citizens.
