Entry into politics

Watkins became active in Democratic party politics in the early 1970s, and was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 1974. Two years later, U. S. House Speaker Carl Albert announced his retirement after 30 years representing Oklahoma's 3rd Congressional District. The district, which was based in the southeastern part of the state and known as Little Dixie, was heavily Democratic in both local and national elections. After defeating Albert's Administrative Assistant Charles Ward in the Democratic primary runoff, Watkins gained Albert's endorsement and won with 82% of the vote in the general election. He was re-elected six more times, always by close to 80% of the vote. For most of this time, he served on the Budget or Appropriations Committees, allowing him to bring large amounts of money to his mostly rural and agricultural district.

Attempts at running for governor

Watkins didn't seek an eighth congressional term in 1990, but instead ran for the Democratic nomination for governor. He lost to eventual winner David Walters, whose campaign's tactics so enraged Watkins that he ran for governor again in 1994, this time as an independent. He only won 23% of the vote. However, his independent candidacy siphoned off enough votes from Lieutenant Governor Jack Mildren, the Democratic candidate, to allow Frank Keating to become only the third Republican governor in Oklahoma history.

Return to Congress

In 1996, Bill Brewster, a Democrat and former state representative from Madill, Oklahoma who had succeeded Watkins in the 3rd District, decided to retire from Congress. Watkins decided that he wanted his seat back. The House leadership persuaded him to run as a Republican. They promised a seat on the Ways and Means Committee with full seniority if he ran as a Republican and won. No congressman had ever served on all three of the major financial committees (Appropriations, Budget and Ways and Means) before. Despite Albert endorsing Watkins' Democratic opponent, Watkins won a narrow victory, becoming the first Republican to represent Little Dixie since Oklahoma joined the Union in 1907.
