“Values centered around God and family still matter here, and that is why it’s important to get out here and vote,” said Mike, a former teacher. “If only the rest of the country was like Oklahoma, then we would be fine.”

On the edge of town, Harrah’s Barber Shop is emblazoned with a large American flag mural. A “Trump 2024” flag waves on a pole. Donald Trump won Oklahoma with 65 percent of the vote in 2020.

In downtown Harrah, which consists of a single street adorned with the chamber of commerce, a few shops, an old theater, and a grain elevator, a railroad engineer named Kelly walked out of a fitness center.
