N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas
U.S. Senate · OK · Democrat
Summary
N'Kiyla 'Jasmine' Thomas is the Democratic nominee for Oklahoma's 2026 U.S. Senate election and will face Republican nominee Kevin Hern.
Thomas has made opposition to AIPAC and to U.S. funding for Israel's current military operations a major campaign theme. She has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of genocide and supports a two-state solution, while also explicitly stating that her criticism is not directed at Jewish people, Judaism, or Israel's existence and that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve security and self-determination.
Thomas has said she stands with Jewish people against antisemitism, hate, and discrimination. She has also expressed support for International Criminal Court action against Israeli leaders, distinguishing her approach from candidates who seek to shield Israel from such international proceedings. The reviewed sources did not identify detailed positions on Iran's nuclear program, Hamas's October 7 attack, campus antisemitism, federal security funding for Jewish institutions, or direct engagement with Jewish communal organizations. Her anti-AIPAC messaging is presented as a political-finance and Israel-policy position and is not treated by itself as evidence of antisemitism.
