Pickard.[1] She advanced to a runoff alongside Aldridge.[2] Adams declined to participate in public debates for the runoff election.[3] She drew criticism from animal rights groups in the runoff campaign after her husband, Ricky Adams, was connected to cockfighting in court documents. The Adams both denied involvement in cockfighting, but Stacy's campaign was endorsed by the Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission. She was also endorsed by Governor Kevin Stitt.[4] She won the runoff with over 60% of the vote.[5] She was sworn in on November 20, 2024.[6]
