County Commissioner Dist. 2

Political Party: Republican Hometown: Eufaula Current Town: Eufaula Education: A Bachelors and 2 Masters

Age: 67 Candidate Background: I am the current District 2 Commissioner and I have been in office for approximately 3 ½ years. I have developed relationships with the current County Officials, the two Native American Nations that make up McIntosh County, (Cherokee and Muscogee) ODOT, contractors, citizens and many others. County Government is unique and very different from the types of Government as we are held to higher standards in our purchasing procedures, the Commissioners are the Executive and Legislative branches of the county. The Commissioner’s are responsible for almost everything within a county, therefore my point is it takes time to become proficient in day-to-day county affairs and with 3 ½ years in office, I am the senior Commissioner in McIntosh County.

I perform community service as much as possible, each year, including this ½ year I have applied for solid waste grants and have received one each year where District 2 has been able to fund roll offs for collection. We also from time to time worked with residents that are ordered to perform community service through the courts are able to pick up trash from the roadways.

As I mentioned above, I have a Bachelors in Industrial Safety and Masters in Technology from the University of Central Oklahoma. I also have studied at Oklahoma City University where I received a Master of Business Administration. These degrees, although took a lot of time and effort, do not prove anything other than when I start something I finish.

I am retired from the Oklahoma State Department of Correction. The two other State Agencies I have spent time in their employment is the Oklahoma Department of Labor, where I became interested in County Government and the Oklahoma Department of Health and Substance Abuse. I was also employed with Lucent Technologies/ AT&T/SWBT for 23 years where I County Commissioner Dist. 2
