question: Jimmie Hugh Rogers Sr. ran against a member of the Republican Party in what state election?
answer: Oklahoma
context: Title: Howard Hobbs
  Passage: Howard William Thomas Hobbs (born 22 January 1950) is an Australian politician who represented the seat of Warrego in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1 November 1986 until his retirement at the 31 January 2015 state election.  He was a member of the National Party of Australia until the Queensland division merged with the Liberal party to form the Liberal National Party of Queensland.  Hobbs was Shadow Minister for Local Government and Planning and for Communities from 28 September 2005 until the LNP entered government following the 2012 election.  As the longest-serving member of the Legislative Assembly, he presides at the election of Speakers.  When he did so in 2009, Dean Wells equaled him in seniority, but Hobbs had taken the oath first because his name comes first alphabetically, so he took the chair as Presiding Member.  As Wells lost his seat at the 2012 election, Hobbs alone was the longest-serving member until his retirement at the 2015 state election.
  Title: Republican Moderate Party of Alaska
  Passage: The Republican Moderate Party of Alaska is a political party in Alaska formed by Ray Metcalfe in 1986 as an alternative to what Metcalfe perceived to be a Republican Party dominated by the Religious Right.  Only one candidate has ever won an election, a 2002 race for the state senate, but that candidate (Thomas Wagoner) re-affiliated with the Republican Party the day after the election.  The Republican Moderate Party has extensive litigation-related history, due in no small part to its minor party status.  Previous cases have included ballot access rights and an early challenge to its name by the Republican Party of Alaska.  After a record of success in the 1990s, its support has slowly dwindled, ending with just 0.63% of the 2002 gubernatorial election.  State law requires that 3% of registered voters vote for a party or be registered to it for recognition.  A court challenge initially overturned this law, holding that it was more restrictive than what the state required of independent candidates, but resulted in the original law being upheld by the Alaska Supreme Court on the grounds that a party candidate has more impact than an independent candidate.  The party has since been recognized by the state again.  As of October 2010 there were 2,719 members statewide.
  Title: Baden-Württemberg state election, 2011
  Passage: The Baden-Württemberg state election 2011 was held on 27 March 2011 to elect members to Baden-Württemberg's State diet, the Landtag of Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart.  It was the 14th state election since the foundation of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.  Before, Stefan Mappus (CDU) had led a coalition government of his party with the FDP, which in the election lost its majority to Alliance '90/The Greens, who scored their all-time best state election result, and the Social Democrats.

Rogers, Sr. to sell Rogers "Batteryless" radio using vacuum tube technology.  It was later renamed Rogers Majestic Corporation Limited when Rogers merged his company with Majestic Corporation of Chicago in 1928.
