Abby Broyles challenges Bice for CD-5, vows to focus on people of district

OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — Democrat Abby Broyles filed a statement of candidacy earlier this week to challenge first-term incumbent Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice for Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District in the 2022 election.

CD-5 includes most of Oklahoma County and the bulk of City of Oklahoma City residents.

In an interview with Free Press, Broyles criticized Bice for advocating for the January 6 Capitol rioters more than for the people of her own district.

Broyles also criticized Bice for voting against the infrastructure bill and not providing leadership in healthcare when Oklahoma is seeing a surge in the COVID-19 D variant.

Bice unseated Democratic incumbent Kendra Horn in November’s election by 4 points, flipping the seat back to the Republican party.
