Charles Bradford "Brad" Henry (born July 10, 1963) was the 26th Governor of Oklahoma. A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected governor in 2002. Henry won re-election for a second term on November 7, 2006 with 66% of the vote.〔("Governor/Oklahoma." ) American Votes 2006. CNN.com. Retrieved 10–13–09.〕 Henry was the third governor and second Democrat in Oklahoma history to hold two consecutive terms, along with Democrat George Nigh and Republican Frank Keating. In 2010, Henry was ineligible to run for re-election even though he maintained high approval ratings, because of term limits set by the Oklahoma Constitution. His second term ended on January 10, 2011, and he was succeeded as governor by Republican Mary Fallin. Henry has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate, but declined to run in the 2014 special election to replace Tom Coburn.〔 http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/fivethirtyeight/2013/02/20/can-republicans-win-the-senate-in-2014/〕 ==Early life and education== Henry was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the son of Charles Henry, a prominent judge and former state representative.〔Everett, Dianna.
