Only on MuskogeePolitico: Muskogee County Sheriff Candidate Forum

Back on June 4th, I asked MuskogeePolitico.com readers to submit questions for the three Republican candidates running for Muskogee County Sheriff. I received numerous responses with great questions. After compiling these into seven questions, I reached out to the candidates and asked them to submit their responses.

Allow me to present to you the first MuskogeePolitico.com Candidate Video Forum. Candidates Michael Mahan and Jeff Smith graciously participated (Andy Simmons was unable to meet the deadline due to a death in the family).
