OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Four candidates have filed to run for a vacant state House seat representing part of western Oklahoma.
Democrats Larry Peck of Sentinel and Alex Damon of Cordell joined Republicans Todd Russ of Cordell and Jeff Ledford of Hobart in filing on Monday.
Filing will continue through Wednesday for the seat, which represents a district comprised of all of Washita County and parts of Kiowa, Caddo and Canadian counties.
Democrat Ryan McMullen left the seat after being appointed as state director of rural development with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A primary is set for Sept. 8, with the special election on Oct. 13.
