Who Will Replace Bode? Regan At Top Of List?
Who will Governor Brad Henry name to replace Republican Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode, who has resigned effective May 31st?
Lots of names are being mentioned and the one at the top of the list appears to be Peter Regan, an attorney and former chief of staff for Congressman Dan Boren. A member of the law firm Riggs, Abney, Neal, Turpen, Orbison & Lewis, Regan unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor last year. He lost the runoff to Lt. Governor Jari Askins.
Others being mentioned include former State Treasurer Robert Butkin, former Commissioner Cody Graves, former State Rep. Charles Gray and Oklahoma County Commissioner Jim Roth.
Graves held the commission seat until he resigned 10 years ago, paving the way for then-Governor Frank Keating to name Bode to the seat. Last year, Graves sought to unseat incumbent Commissioner Bob Anthony, but lost in an Anthony runaway, getting less than 42 percent of the vote.
