David Holt

Mayor David Holt painted a hopeful picture for Oklahoma City in his 2024 State of the City speech.

Chief Wade Gourley has led OKC Police since July 2019. He will stay on until his replacement is hired.

OKC voters threw their support behind a new $900 million arena that will largely be funded by taxpayers.

More than half of those surveyed in Oklahoma City were against the idea, while just shy of a quarter either supported it or didn’t have an opinion.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt announced a plan to build a new arena in exchange for a renewed contract with The Oklahoma City Thunder.

OKC's eight councilmembers will each appoint a resident from their ward to serve on the Community Public Safety Advisory Board. Mayor David Holt will also appoint a resident to lead the board.

Holt said that the arena could be funded without raising tax rates. Additional financing would come from the ownership of the Oklahoma City Thunder and MAPS4 dollars already earmarked for downtown improvements.

Oklahomans can now register to vote online, after waiting eight years for the program to launch.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg visited Oklahoma City as a part of the Biden Administration’s “Investing in America” tour.

This Week in Oklahoma Politics features a report released by the State Auditor criticizing state officials in how they handled issues in the pandemic and how the Attorney General held on to the report since last May, as well as Gov. Kevin Stitt's State of the State Address to kick off the 2022 legislative session.
