2. "I remember back in November of 2005, I saw an article where a mayor was elected at 18 in Michigan, I thought that's something I'd like to do. And a couple of friends of mine came to me and said, 'you have to run for mayor or we're not friends anymore', so we had to do that. And I'm so glad that they came to me and made me do that, It's been a blessing for me, and it's been a blessing for the citizens of Muskogee, and I look forward to having a great two years." - ktka.com
