Patrick Sampson

Economy I have a clear plan to promote agriculture and youth sports by raising awareness, attracting events, and generating new revenue streams that directly benefit Wagoner County. Infrastructure / Transportation As Commissioner, I'll prioritize improving and maintaining our county roads with real, hands-on experience. I've worked alongside Civil Engineering teams in the U.S. Air Force, helping maintain and repair flight line roads used by multi-million dollar aircraft. I'll bring that same focus, follow-through, and responsible management to Wagoner County's infrastructure, making smart investments for safer and more efficient travel that stand the test of time. Criminal Justice / Public Safety My highest priority is the safety of Wagner County residents. I am dedicated to providing robust support for our law enforcement and emergency response teams. This commitment means our police, sheriff's deputies, firefighters, and paramedics will have the essential resources and backing they need to protect our neighborhoods, respond effectively to emergencies, and maintain peace throughout our county. Beyond that, I will work to establish a countywide EMS service in collaboration with our local fire departments, ensuring every resident has access to reliable emergency care, regardless of where they live. Infrastructure / Transportation I bring real, working relationships with local leaders, state officials, and tribal governments, built on trust, experience, and mutual respect. I will actively work to maintain and expand these robust partnerships with our local cities, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), tribal governments, and state agencies. Economy I'm dedicated to building a robust local economy that aligns with our values and ensures sustainable growth. I will lead a comprehensive review of our planning and zoning regulations and comprehensive plan. This ensures they support job creation and preserve community character while accommodating rapid growth. My goal is to attract industries that provide local jobs, strengthen our economy, and create lasting opportunities for all residents. Taxes / Budget As your Commissioner, I'll ensure every tax dollar is managed with the utmost accountability, making the county budget clear and accessible so you can easily see how your hard-earned money is making an impact for all Wagoner County citizens.
