Munson betting on campaigning face to face in bid for governor
LYNN ADAMS | STAFF WRITER

While Oklahoma's Republican candidates for governor have poured millions of dollars of their own fortunes into television advertising, Democratic nominee Cyndi Munson believes the old-fashioned way still works.

For months, the Oklahoma City lawmaker has been driving thousands of miles across the state, stopping in small towns and large cities alike, shaking hands at coffee shops, county fairs, rodeos, parades, neighborhood gatherings and community events. Rather than relying on expensive television commercials to introduce herself to voters, Munson is making her case one conversation at a time.

Jeff Neighbors
ALLY TROTTER | STAFF WRITER

When Jeff Neighbors retired from education in May 2016, he didn't spend much time relaxing.

He finished his final day as an educator on a Wednesday and reported for duty with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office that Friday, beginning what would become a second career in public service. After years as a teacher, coach and principal, Neighbors traded the classroom for a patrol car, eventually discovering a new passion that now shapes his daily work.
