OK-HD97: Two Democrats will compete for House District 97 seat during a special election
Voters in northeast Oklahoma City will decide between two Democratic candidates to serve in the state House during a special election after the former representative resigned.
Legislative assistant JeKia Harrison and former District Judge Aletia Haynes Timmons will compete in the special primary election on Tuesday, June 10, for House District 97. No Republican or independent candidate filed for the seat, meaning the winner of the June 10 race will become the district's next representative.
The district encompasses a large swath of northeast Oklahoma City, Spencer, Forest Park and parts of Jones and Midwest City. The seat became vacant after the district's former representative, Jason Lowe, D-Oklahoma City, resigned in April after his election as an Oklahoma County commissioner.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
