Owasso schoolteacher J.J. Dossett on Tuesday became the first Democrat since 1990 elected to the state Senate from District 34 in north Tulsa County.

Dossett finished with 56 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Republican David McLain in a district that typically goes 65 percent to the GOP.

“I really had no idea what to expect,” Dossett said. “I knew we’d worked our tails off, but it’s hard to tell on these things.”

Dossett, 31, was helping coach the Owasso High School boys basketball team Tuesday night while ballots from the election were being counted.
