Editor’s note: Geoff Covalt and Kaci Farrar were the top vote-getters in a three-way city commission race in April, which also included incumbent Richard Ray Reynolds.

Due to the state election calendar, the runoff election to decide the race is being held five months later, with early voting scheduled Thursday and Friday at the courthouse and regular voting at city polling places from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

To re-introduce the candidates to voters, the Times & Free Press submitted an identical list of questions to both. Their answers appear below, following brief biographies.

A Woodward native, Covalt moved to Kingfisher in 2018 with his wife Shana and sons Cooper, a 2019 Kingfisher High School graduate and Cade, a sophomore at KHS.

Their daughter Reagan is a nurse at the Norman Regional Healthplex.

Covalt has a degree in civil engineering from Texas Tech University and has worked more than 25 years in engineering and construction.

He is currently a partner with CEC Corporation and has also worked for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, constructing roads and bridges and has owned his own company, which specialized in paving for residential and commercial developers, municipalites, counties and the state highway system.

Farrar is a native of Hinton and currently lives in Kingfisher with her husband Tanner and sons Maddox and Steel.
