Democratic wave could bring changes to Oklahoma County government

Oklahoma County government could have a distinctly different feel in a few months after Democrats swept general election races. Voters flipped the Board of Oklahoma County Commissioners in an election that ended Republican Party rule, which had held since the 1970s. Plus, if freshly elected Democrats vote as a bloc, the Nov. 3 election will lead to a shift in the balance of power on the usually nonpartisan County Budget Board, where personalities often dictate action more than partisan politics. Come Jan. 4, 2027, the commissioners' board will have a 2-1 Democratic majority, with Jennifer Mayo, 35, representing District 3 , which has not been held by a Democrat since 1981. She will join Democratic Commissioner Jason Lowe of District 1 and District 2's Brian Maughan , who will be the lone Republican. Also on Jan. 4, Democratic Assessor-elect John Gibbons will take office after beating incumbent Larry Stein. Democratic Treasurer-elect Jessica Thompson , 37, who won that open seat, will not take office until July, the start of the 2027-28 fiscal year.

Oklahoma City for the Longer Stay: Golf Estates, Lakefront Evenings and a 1911 Hotel

The upscale way to stay in Oklahoma City for more than a week is a private estate in the gated northwest or on Lake Hefner, with downtown's 1911 hotel and Midtown's seventh-floor terrace for the evenings. The city does not market itself as a luxury destination, and that is the appeal: no velvet rope, no crowds, and the golf neighborhoods, lakefront streets, historic hotel and gallery village all within a 25-minute drive of each other.
