About Gentner Drummond

Attorney General Drummond’s law experience spans nearly 30 years and includes having served as an assistant district attorney in Pawnee and Osage Counties and as an attorney in private practice. In 1999, he founded the Tulsa-based firm, Drummond Law. In addition to his legal career, Drummond, a seventh-generation Oklahoman, has been a longtime rancher, banker and businessman.

He served as a U.S. Air Force jet pilot during the Persian Gulf War and led the first combat mission of that conflict. Drummond was among the most decorated Oklahomans to serve in that conflict, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for “extraordinary achievement” as well as three Air Medals and four Aerial Achievement medals.

Sworn in as Attorney General on Jan. 9, 2023, Drummond has focused on fighting crime, ensuring transparency and openness in government, improving tribal relations, and putting an end to a culture of corruption and scandal. 

In his first year, he assembled the office’s first-ever Organized Crime Task Force to clamp down on the state’s epidemic of illegal marijuana operations and associated criminal activities such as human trafficking and opioid distribution Because Oklahoma’s proliferation of illegal marijuana farms has been largely fueled by the nation’s illegal immigration crisis, Drummond worked with state lawmakers to craft a new law enabling law enforcement to incarcerate illegal immigrants. Under Drummond’s leadership, the Attorney General’s Office has also been successful securing legislation strengthening prosecutions of rape, child pornography and fentanyl distribution. 

Drummond has been a steadfast opponent of federal overreach that routinely threatened state sovereignty under the Biden Administration. He led efforts to keep Oklahoma’s energy industry from being decimated by that administration’s zeal for overregulation. 

Drummond earned his bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma State University and his law degree from Georgetown University. He and wife Wendy married in 2010 and have a blended family of six children and seven grandchildren.
