Rinehart Draws Democrat Opponent In Reelection Bid

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart has another opponent this year, and he's no stranger.

Jim Dickinson, a Harrah Democrat, ran against Rinehart in 2004 and got 47 percent of the vote against the incumbent Republican. Dickinson is a former Harrah city councilman who owns a construction business.

Also opposing Rinehart is Republican J. D. Johnston, the former mayor of Bethany.

Rinehart's tenure has been marked by controversy; he faces multiple felony charges as a result of allegations made about the financing of his 2004 campaign.
