Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett is visiting Ponca City today and will have a “Meet & Greet” at Pioneer Technology Center from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Seminar Center.

Cornett has announced his intention to run for Governor of Oklahoma in 2018 as he completes his fourth and final term as Oklahoma City’s mayor. He has held that position since 2004, and is the first to be elected to four  terms in that office.

He also serves as President of The United States Conference of Mayors and served as national President of the Republican Mayors and Local Officials.

He also served as Chairman of the U.S. Conference of Mayors Urban Economic Affairs Committee until 2007. 

Two issues on which Cornett is focused are health and education, and how  those relate to economic development in Oklahoma.

At tonight’s event, he will answer questions as well as discuss key issues in Oklahoma politics, including the upcoming special session of the Legislature.
