U.S. House of Representatives

In 1994, 6th district Congressman Glenn English stepped down to become a lobbyist for rural electric cooperatives. Lucas won the Republican nomination for the special election on May 10. He faced Dan Webber, press secretary to former Governor and U.S. Senator David L. Boren, now president of the University of Oklahoma. The 6th was already the largest in the state, stretching from the Panhandle to the town of Spencer, in the far northeastern Oklahoma City metropolitan area. However, the state legislature had redrawn it so that it included many poor Oklahoma City neighborhoods that had never voted Republican. Lucas scored a major upset; he won by eight percentage points, carrying 18 of the district's 24 counties. His victory has been seen by some pundits as an early sign of the wave six months later that saw the Republicans take control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Lucas himself won a full term in that wave and has been re-elected five times, never dropping below 59 percent of the vote. He faced no Democratic opposition in 2002 and 2004, and easily won reelection in 2006.

Lucas' district was renumbered as the 3rd after Oklahoma lost a district in the 2000 Census. His already huge district was made even larger. He lost most of his old district's share of Oklahoma City, which was home to 60% of the district's population. He once represented much of the downtown area, including the site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. He still represents the portion of the city located in Canadian County. However, in place of his share of Oklahoma City, Lucas gained portions of the Tulsa suburbs and some rural areas. As a result, his district is now as large as the state's other four districts combined. Alfred P. Murrah building four days before its demolition Alfred P.
