Megachurch pastor Jackson Lahmeyer halted his congressional campaign following his advancement in a runoff election. Accusations from a British tabloid suggested an inappropriate relationship with a former staff member.
On June 17, 2026, Lahmeyer admitted to overstepping boundaries in text communications. However, he contested the tabloid’s claims, labeling them as a ‘distorted story.’
Lahmeyer, an Oklahoma Republican candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump, decided to pause his campaign. He stated his decision aimed to prevent becoming a ‘distraction’ due to ongoing questions regarding his involvement with a former staffer.
