The
Oklahoma
County
Clerk
plays
an
important
role
in
overseeing
the
county’s
budget
—
including
the
sheriff’s
office
and
the
county
jail.
But
typically,
very
few
voters
turn
out
to
elect
the
County
Clerk.
Seeking
to
change
this,
Let's
Fix
This
engaged
residents
through
volunteer
phone
and
text
banking.
