Kyle Loveless is a former Republican politician from Oklahoma's 45th district including parts of Oklahoma City. He was elected to the Senate in 2012, replacing Steve Russell, and was reelected in 2016; Loveless ran unopposed in both races.[1]

In 2017, Loveless resigned while under criminal investigation for embezzling over $150,000 campaign funds which he used for personal use. He pled guilty to three felony charges and in a plea deal he agreed to pay over $15,000 in restitution, was sentenced to three years probation and banned from any kind of political work.[2][3]

In 2023, he was hired by WPA Intelligence, a polling firm.[4]
