Three-way race for District 1 commissioner pits Cavett's record against two challengers with different visions
Harper says the county needs someone ready to work. Presuhn says it needs a plan — and a fresh set of eyes

Cavett, 47, of Glencoe, has held the seat since 2012. He faces Ray Harper, 66, of Glencoe, a 27-year Mercury Marine veteran and current aerospace industry worker, and Jacob Presuhn, 31, of Ripley, a current Payne County District 3 equipment operator. No Democrat or independent filed, making the Republican primary winner the next District 1 commissioner.
