Candidate filing for state offices begins at the Capitol on Wednesday, kicking off an election season that will yield a new governor, at least one new member of Congress and the next state Legislature.

Mandatory term limits will prevent Gov. Mary Fallin and many other office holders from running for re-election, although some are hoping to win other government jobs.

A voluntary term limit for U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine means the Tulsa area will choose a new member of Congress.

The filing period is from Wednesday through Friday.
