Paden businessman wins senate seat
Paden businessman and minister Bryan Logan says he's ready to take on his newly elected post as District 8 State Senator. Logan, a Republican, won the seat Tuesday, receiving twice as many votes as his closest opponent. According to unofficial Oklahoma Election Board results, Logan received 3,083 votes, or 61.62%. Democrat Nathan Brewer received 1,484 votes, or 29.66%. Independent Steve Sanford received 436 votes, or 8.71%. Logan will serve the remaining year of an unexpired term opened by the resignation of former Sen. Roger Tompson. Logan said the campaign was fast paced because of Thompson's resignation, and that it might take a couple of weeks for Tuesday's election results to set in. 'Once we get to the swearing in, we jump right in and the reality will start setting in real quickly,' he said. 'I look forward to working for the district.' Logan said voters were looking for 'someone who could relate to District 8.' 'I'm a small business owner, a minister, born and raised in the district,' he said. 'I'm just a very relatable person.' According to his campaign literature, Logan has run a residential construction and carpentry business since 2005. He has been pastor of Paden Pentecostal Holiness Church since 2009. 'First and foremost, I want to be an ear for the district and be a voice for the district,' he said. 'I'm not going to go up there and run 100 bills a year. I'd rather write few bills and gave good legislation than to see how many bills I could write.' Senate District 8 covers McIntosh, Okfuskee and Okmulgee counties as well southern Creek County and western and southern Muskogee County.
