Macy Jumps Into Race For OK County Sheriff
Newest Oklahoma County sheriff’s candidate has familiar name
by Nolan Clay
The newest candidate in the race for Oklahoma County sheriff has a name that will be familiar to many longtime voters.
Brett Macy, 53, of Newalla, is the son of the late Bob Macy, the longtime Oklahoma County district attorney who was popular with voters both for his tough stance on crime and his western attire.
“My dad’s legacy, as far as his service to the citizens of Oklahoma County, was very strong and very positive. I think, if there’s name recognition that goes along with that, it can’t do anything but help me,” Macy said.
Macy, a Republican, is making his first run for political office. He announced his candidacy Monday. He was one of six candidates who filed Monday for the office.
