Warren Plunk Dies, Special Election Called | Oklahoma City News

Warren Plunk, a 54-year-old Oklahoma County district judge candidate known for his criminal defense practice and community service, has died at home, prompting a special election to fill the vacant seat. Running against incumbent Judge Susan Stallings in a November general election, Plunk’s campaign emphasized his servant’s heart and leadership—traits praised by his pastor and colleagues. Stallings, who had previously recused herself from a high-profile case involving Plunk’s campaign chairman, called him a “decent guy.” With over $19K in contributions, Plunk’s campaign outpaced Stallings’ $16K raised plus a $10K personal loan. His death removes him from the ballot, forcing the governor to call a special election to complete the term. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
