Wins Muskogee Mayoral Race
With all 18 precincts reporting, election officials say John Tyler Hammons won tonight's election with 70 percent of the vote over former Mayor Hershel Ray McBride.
He celebrated his victory with supporters at a watch party at Cowboys Barbecue.
The two candidates squared off in a runoff election for the nonpartisan mayoral post after neither secured 50 percent of the vote in a six-person election on April 1st.
Hammons said he plans to continue his college education, but expects to transfer to a university closer to Muskogee.
Hammons says he's already been contacted by representatives of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" about appearing on the late-night talk show.
