U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is seeking his third full term.

The Republican primary ballot will have three other candidates on it, and the Democratic ballot will have two candidates. The primary election will be Tuesday.

The other Republicans are Evelyn L. Rogers, Dennis Lopez and Ted Ryals.

Andrew Rice, a state senator, will face off with Jim Rogers in the Democratic primary.

The winners will run against each other and independent candidate Stephen P. Wallace in the November general election. The winner of that race will serve a six-year term in the Senate, alongside Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn.

n Inhofe, 73, has served in the Senate since 1994, when he was elected to fill the unexpired term of Sen. David Boren. He was elected in 1996 to a full term and was re-elected in 2002.

He graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in economics. In addition to service in the Army, he is a businessman who has worked in aviation, real estate and insurance.
