Jail Tax Battle in District Three | Oklahoma City News

In a high-stakes Republican runoff for Oklahoma County’s District Three, Jessica Clayton and Alex Warren clash over a proposed county sales tax to fund a new jail. Clayton backs the measure, arguing taxpayers deserve a say and that the plan includes oversight; Warren fiercely opposes it, calling for greater transparency on costs and operations. The outcome could determine whether Oklahoma County moves forward with a modern facility—or continues running outdated, troubled jails. Clayton, with government experience and strong financial backing, contrasts with Warren, a business owner whose campaign finances are murky. Both candidates frame the race around accountability, but their positions reveal deeper divides on fiscal responsibility and community trust. This runoff could shape the county’s future—and set the tone for the November general election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
