Continued from Pg. 1

“My professional training is in law, and I have been licensed to practice in Oklahoma for decades. One of the skills that I have honed as an attorney and as a professor is how to mitigate differences, resolve conflict, and get everyone pulling in the same direction on the same rope,” Guild said of his qualifications on Facebook. “Leadership is in large measure getting a diverse group of individuals to work together for the greater good. This skill will stand me in good stead in serving the citizens of Oklahoma County.” Other Democratic candidates include Vil- lage City Councilman and restauranteur Sean Cummings, entrepreneur Tiffany Ellis, community organizer B.C. Phillips, and Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church Derrick Scobey.

Phillips plans to address three issues if elected: fixing what’s broken, accessibility, and transparency, according to his website. A large portion of Phillips’ platform involves working with IT to redesign county resource websites and improving the use of accessibility technologies. If elected, Scobey hopes to prioritize collaboration, stewardship, transparency and accountability, development, and inclusion, according to his campaign website.
