Congressman Frank Lucas is a fifth generation Oklahoman whose family has lived and farmed in Oklahoma for over 120 years. Born on January 6, 1960 in Cheyenne, Oklahoma, Lucas graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1982 with a degree in Agricultural Economics. He was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in a special election in 1994.
Lucas proudly represents Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District, which includes all or portions of 32 counties in northern and western Oklahoma, stretching from the Oklahoma panhandle to parts of Tulsa, and from Yukon to Altus in the southwest. It takes up almost half the state’s land mass and is one of the largest agricultural regions in the nation. Lucas has been a crusader for the American farmer since being elected to Congress in 1994 and he has fought to protect Oklahoma values.
The American people trust Congress to provide for their security by maintaining a strong national defense. While Americans are fortunate to have a strong military force of brave men and women fighting to preserve our freedom, Congress must remain committed to rebuilding our military readiness and capabilities to address the growing threats from our adversaries- such as China and Russia.
Oklahoma’s 3rd Congressional District has a rich military heritage, and I remain fully committed to providing our military installations the resources they need to attract new missions and keep Oklahoma at the forefront of our national defense.
I will continue to work diligently to ensure that our government focuses on strengthening our national defense, provides the necessary resources to our Armed Forces, and provides Americans with freedom and security at home and throughout the world.
