Democrat Elected To Fill Vacated State Senator's Seat

Oklahomans voted on several issues in special elections Tuesday, including Rick Brinkley's vacant state senate seat.

The former Republican senator from Owasso resigned after admitting to stealing almost $2 million from Tulsa's Better Business Bureau while serving as its CEO.

Tuesday, voters flipped that seat from Republican to Democrat - with 56 percent of the vote Democrat J.J. Dossett defeated Republican David McLain.

Dossett will serve the remaining three years of Brinkley's original four-year term.
