Three-way race for District 1 commissioner pits Cavett's record against two challengers with different visions

Payne County Commissioner Zach Cavett is seeking his fourth term in District 1, facing two challengers who say the district needs new leadership — but who offer starkly different cases for why.

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.
