I first want to thank God for being with me and my family during this endeavor and guiding me. Without his grace none of this would be possible. I am so honored to have won the trust of so many people during the past few months. This victory tonight would not be possible without each of you having faith in me. I am humbled by your support and I thank you!
I want to thank my family, friends and volunteers who put in countless hours and offered me moral support and always believed in the vision we all share. I also want to say a special thank you to Laura Steele who is a class act and a wonderful person who deserves the utmost respect for running such a clean and quality campaign. The other candidates who ran in the June primary who chose to endorse me - thank you for your faith in me and committing to help me work for Broken Arrow and all of District 98.
The victory tonight is great, but the work is not yet done. We have one more race to win. I know with your continued support and prayers we will take this momentum to victory in November!

BROKEN ARROW — Six Broken Arrow Public Schools staff members and two students were recognized as heroes Monday for their quick responses that saved the lives of a student and a coach this school year.
Staff members Dean Davis, Mike Humphrey, Julia Price, Paul Croft, Daniel Steward and Taylor Coatsworth, as well as students Avery Mize and Chance Holloway, were recognized by Broken Arrow Fire Chief Jeremy Moore, Assistant Fire Chief Mark Steward, Mayor Craig Thurmond and school district leaders at Monday’s school board meeting.
Physical education teachers Davis and Humphrey, along with Price, a school nurse, were recognized for their response when Taylor Malonson, a high school senior, collapsed and became unresponsive during a weightlifting class Nov. 28.


Davis, Humphrey and Price used CPR and an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to attempt to resuscitate Malonson, shocking his heart four times before emergency responders arrived, according to the school administration.
Malonson had a pulse again before he was taken by ambulance to a hospital, from which he was released about a week later.
