The Oklahoma City Council had 4 open seats in this month's election. Meg Salyer, Ward 6 and Pat Ryan Ward 8 retained their seats. David Greenwell won Ward 5 and there will be a runoff for Ward 2. Charlie Swinton, a former REALTOR®, is pro-development. We had the chance to meet with Charlie last week and he shares many of the same interests that REALTORS® do in promoting economic development. I encourage everyone to read about the two candidates and participate in the run off. According to NEWSOK.com,:
"In the Ward 2 election, the two top spenders — Swinton and Shadid — will face each other in a runoff election April 5. Swinton received 43 percent of the vote and Shadid received 35 percent. Oklahoma City Planning Commissioner Janis Powers received 16 percent of the vote but did not qualify for the runoff. None of the other three candidates received more than 3 percent of the votes. “We're celebrating a great victory,” Swinton said from his watch party. “We think our issues are the best — pro job growth, pro business and pro police. It's a matter of timing. We're confident we're going to win, it's just a matter of when.”
