The Oklahoman Endorses Jim Roth

“County Commissioner: Four years ago, Jim Roth was largely unknown when he unseated Republican incumbent Beverly Hodges to gain the District 1 Commissioner's seat. Since that time, Roth has proven himself an outstanding public official interested in serving his constituents and bringing professionalism to county government. His fiscal responsibility is unmatched. We're also supportive of his efforts to bring ‘home rule’ to county government, which would put him out of a job. This Democrat's accomplishments in the past four years have earned him another term. Along with newly elected District 3 Commissioner Ray Vaughn, a Republican, we're hopeful the pair can restore much-needed order to the commission and make the days of county government as a laughingstock a mere memory.”
