1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Good morning morning.

2
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Welcome, welcome, welcome. It is at a time now for

3
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 2>our community connection right here on K one, the one

4
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:09.000
<v Speaker 2>you trust. It seems like Corey shibbl we've done this before.

5
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:10.240
<v Speaker 2>How are you doing today?

6
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing good, Tom, Thanks for having me.

7
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know you're always welcome. Now, we've got a

8
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>runoff coming up on the twenty seventh of this month,

9
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and this is for the Washington County Commissioner District too. Now,

10
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>you were in a three way race earlier during the primary,

11
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and because no one got fifty plus percent, it's hard

12
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>to do in a three way race. Okay, how you

13
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 2>got it? It really is?

14
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>It really is.

15
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And now you and you're facing an opponent here

16
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>in just a few weeks. Wow, that's going to take

17
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 2>a little out of you, doesn't it.

18
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>It's been a long time.

19
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 3>It seems like I told somebody the other day that

20
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>when I started this campaign off that you know, I

21
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>had twenty eight and a half years experience and I'm

22
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 3>just a few days away now from it feels like

23
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>thirty two years experience. But I'm yeah, I'm almost to

24
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine years now.

25
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>So wow, and you work in District three District three.

26
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, south end of the county for Commissioner Dunlap.

27
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tell us what you do there? I mean you

28
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>you've done just just about every position available there right now.

29
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I have. Yeah, I've of course been with them nearly

30
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine years. I've been the road and bridge supervisor

31
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>for the past fourteen years.

32
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I'm a graduate of the Oklahoma State Road

33
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Management Program. I've been the I've been Commissioner Dune Laps.

34
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Road and Bridge supervisor, like I said, for fourteen years.

35
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Where I've you know, got a great working relationship with him,

36
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>and that's that's where I am able to, you know,

37
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 3>see his day to day duties as a commissioner.

38
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's where I feel like i've you know, I've

39
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>learned the job.

40
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you know. And the mister Dunlap has been a

41
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>commissioner for a good long time.

42
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Himself, absolutely, I think he's seventeen seventeen years now.

43
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, when you have experienced what you've experienced, you also

44
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of know a little bit about the dollars and

45
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>since side too, right.

46
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sure, yeah, I've been to the budget board meetings

47
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 3>of course, been to the commissioner meetings and as well

48
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 3>as assisted commissioner, done lap with the budget in the department,

49
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, my department of District three.

50
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so you know, you kind of know the

51
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>ins and outs of it. You've been pretty much doing

52
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>the work for a good long time. It would be

53
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of nice to get the full recognition by being

54
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>a commissioner. I mean, it seems the time is right

55
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>is for you. Yeah, I think so.

56
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 3>And that's the only reason that I'm even considered this

57
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 3>is because the knowledge that I have for the job.

58
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's a lot to it. It's one of

59
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 3>those jobs that's really hard to describe, but I think

60
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I have a I have a pretty good I have

61
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>good knowledge of the jobs.

62
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like I would, you know, I would

63
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>be ready for the job.

64
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>On day one, So you would to worry about, you know,

65
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>going to a commister's training school.

66
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's a lot of there's a lot of training

67
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>hours required, and.

68
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I know I've got I've got quite a few some

69
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 3>of the things that they require.

70
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I've already got under my belt. But yes, I would.

71
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 3>I would have some some training and you know, I

72
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>of course go to that those kind of things and.

73
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, learn things. You can always learn stuff, you know.

74
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So, oh yeah, you're never too old to learn, never

75
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>too old to learn, right, So what fueled your ambition

76
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>to do this? Just the timing of all this.

77
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>It really was. It was just it was just timing.

78
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I never had any intentions of running against a city commissioner,

79
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 3>And when when Commissioner Buba decided that he was going

80
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 3>to not seek re election, I thought, well, you know,

81
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>I know the job I've been around, I think I

82
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 3>would be really good at it. And so I thought,

83
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm gonna just I'm gonna file and see

84
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 3>what happens.

85
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>And while there you go here I am. Yes, you

86
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 2>went through the first primary, and now for the runoff. Now,

87
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be interesting because we way, I

88
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>understand that this is the only thing on that ballot. Yes,

89
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I guess, so, I guess if you live in the well,

90
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>there's a Collinsville thing. But those things doing intersect. But

91
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>but this is really going to be one of those

92
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>things where people from district too need to participate and

93
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 2>let the voices be heard.

94
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, yeah, you know that, and that's what we're focusing on.

95
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I've taken a little bit of time off, you know,

96
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>for the past I think six weeks here, really give

97
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 3>myself a break and give everybody else a break.

98
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple of big races there, the state

99
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Senate and then.

100
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 3>What was the other one, the state representative race. So

101
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, that's our main focus is getting people out.

102
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 2>To vote on August twenty seventh, and right now, folks,

103
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>if you've not voted recently, you might want to inquire

104
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>with the Washington County the Secretary of Yvon House here

105
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>at the Board of Elections downtown and if you have

106
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>any questions, you can also go to the various websites

107
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>to deal with that to make sure you're eligible to vote,

108
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>because sometimes if you move, you know, your address changes. Hey,

109
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, you might want to check where you're living

110
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>to see if you're still in the same district. And

111
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>also whenever you move, you got to change that to

112
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>make sure that everything's right and regular and ready to

113
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>go and everything. But this is the one where we

114
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>have two very good candidates going for it and made

115
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the best candidate win. And I want the people to

116
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 2>make sure that they have fulfilled that freedom if they

117
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 2>have the freedom of a choice, and it'd be great

118
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>to see the good number of people out there.

119
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it would be would I hope we have a

120
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>big turnout.

121
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 3>I understand that a county commissioner race isn't real exciting,

122
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>but doesn't take away from the importance of the job. Sure,

123
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 3>it's just not on everybody's radar, especially August twenty seventh.

124
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're sitting there calling, gosh, the kids are in school,

125
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>what am I doing? Yeah, and we understand that, and

126
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>we really do. We were just kind of talking off

127
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>here that you know the twenty seventh. Why the twenty

128
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>seventh Apparently it's between well, what the primary was and

129
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>when the general is and then it's pretty much the divisor.

130
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's my best guess, that's.

131
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Mine too, mistading, I'm going with your.

132
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I need to do some research and figured this out.

133
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure it is. Give you some time in case,

134
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, there were actual other races in play too,

135
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>But you know it comes down to this. Normally in

136
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Washington County the primary is the general in a lot

137
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 2>of cases, but not in this one. With the runoff,

138
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 2>how's that changed the way that you know you're you're

139
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>approaching this Now you went there through round one and

140
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I know everybody gave it, you know, one hundred and

141
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent everything that got and it's like, oh my,

142
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, here comes round two. Like you said, you

143
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>took a little bit of a break, which I think

144
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>it was wise. You know. So are you going out

145
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and still making connections and meeting and greeting with people?

146
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, I am.

147
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.439
<v Speaker 3>I've been to a few meetings over the past six weeks.

148
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, it's a different approach, and of course I'm

149
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an expert at it. This is my first

150
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 3>go round in campaigning, so but you really kind of

151
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>have to follow your gut on this thing. And round two,

152
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>I do believe is different than round one. It's it's

153
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of all about getting your your voters back out

154
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>to vote.

155
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you voted the first Yeah, if you

156
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>voted for me on.

157
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>June eighteenth, I hope you're going to vote for me

158
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.480
<v Speaker 3>on August twenty seventh. So we're really not trying to

159
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 3>change people's minds necessarily as much as getting them back

160
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 3>out to the polls.

161
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what, that's a good idea. I like that. Yeah,

162
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>very good. Now you've got a Facebook page.

163
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I have a Facebook page. Corey Shivel for County

164
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Commissioner district too. There is an email on that Facebook page,

165
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 3>and messenger has been the best way. A lot of

166
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 3>people have messaged me on there. It's quicker, It is

167
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 3>a lot quicker, and I see it a lot quicker

168
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 3>than I would an email. So yeah, I'm I'm very

169
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 3>quick to respond to that.

170
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's very good. Accessibility is wonderful, you know it.

171
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I've lived a lot of different places, but until I

172
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 2>moved to Oklahoma, did I ever once hear any candidate says, God,

173
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.919
<v Speaker 2>just give me a call or hit me up on

174
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>my Facebook or send me a text, and they give

175
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>out the number. Are you crazy? And then it's like, well, no,

176
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 2>that's how people get a hold of you, right Yeah.

177
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.000

178
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>is here in Oklahoma. There's no convolution going on here.

179
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, especially with a county commissioner. You know, he's

180
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 1>right to be available.

181
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.320
