David Keith "Dave" McCurdy (born March 30, 1950) is an American lawyer, politician, lobbyist and former Congressman from Oklahoma's 4th congressional district. McCurdy is currently president of the American Gas Association.
McCurdy was born in the town of Canadian, Texas. He received an undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1972 and a JD there three years later. He studied international economics at Scotland's University of Edinburgh as a Rotary International Graduate Fellow.
McCurdy served in the United States Air Force Reserve, attaining the rank of major and serving as a Judge Advocate General (JAG). He was an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Oklahoma from 1975-77.
McCurdy served for seven terms, from 1981-95. In 1980 he ran for Oklahoma's 4th congressional district seat in Congress, succeeding sixteen-term congressman Tom Steed from Shawnee. He trailed Oklahoma House Majority Leader James B. Townsend, also from Shawnee, in the Democratic primary 40% to 34%, then won 51.2% of the vote in the runoff election. McCurdy defeated Townsend with campaign commercials espousing prayer in public and support for a statue of Jesus Christ in the Wichita mountains, near Lawton.
