His first run for Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1984 as an Republican against incumbent Democrat but narrowly lost. Another attempt in 1986 fell in the wrong direction, however he was able to win in 1988. He was defeated in 1990 when the legislative body made his district more friendly to Democrats. But he resurfaced in 1992.
In 1994, the 6th District Congressman Glenn English stepped down to become an advocate for electric cooperatives in rural areas. Lucas took his Republican primary for the election in May 10. Lucas was challenged by Dan Webber, press secretary to U.S. senator David L. Boren. The 6th was by far the biggest in the state, extending across the Panhandle through the city of Spencer which was located in the northwestern Oklahoma City metropolitan area. But the legislature had altered the boundaries so that it contained a number of low-income Oklahoma City neighborhoods that had never been Republican. Lucas was able to pull off a major upset winning 8 percentage points, and carried 18 of the 24 counties in the district. His win has been interpreted by some as a signpost to the wave that would follow six months later, which saw Republicans become the majority in the House for the first time in over 40 years. Lucas himself was elected to an entire term during the wave, with 70 percent of the votes. He was re-elected seven times and never fell below 59 percent vote. He even won unopposed in 2004 and 2002.
On April 7, 2014, Lucas introduced the Customer Protection and End User Relief Act (H.R. 4413; 113th Congress) into the House. The bill would reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission through 2018 and amend some provisions of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
