Holt is not a republican who would have been elected 20 years ago. He is very moderate, and has some more liberal views. OKC is moving away from it's staunch conservative nature.

Also, Oklahoma has had a liberal governor more recently than Texas has. And one might have beaten Stitt if they had a decent candidate. But yes, OK is held back by the rural GOP hold. But it isn't OKC's fault, same with the big Texas cities.
