If you see the flags at the Enid Swadley’s flying at half mast, this explains why.
After a lengthy effort by the Enid Social Justice Committee, Vance Airforce Base leadership, and other groups who aren't racist, white nationalist Judd Blevins was successfully recalled and ousted from the Enid City Council yesterday.
It’s good news for all Enid residents with decent values who oppose racism and who don’t like seeing their city’s brand and reputation tarnished on the national stage, and bad news for the people who say the town just hasn’t been the same since Gary from the infamous Chicaros died in 2022.
Via the Enid News Eagle:
Cheryl Patterson defeated Judd Blevins in an election for the Ward 1 Enid City Commission seat…
The election was held after a recall petition initiated by Enid Social Justice Committee received enough signatures to set up another election for the seat. ESJC filed the petition after learning of Blevins’ alleged ties with white nationalist organizations.
Patterson defeated Blevins with 59.64% of the vote, 829-561…
I’d estimate about four out of every ten Enid residents harbor white nationalist sympathies and feelings, so that went about as I expected. Now that Blevins is off the city council, the town can finally get back to normal business, like banning Pride book displays at libraries.
