Incumbent Corporation Commissioner Todd Hiett easily secured a second, six-year term as a member of the three-person corporation commission in a race Tuesday against Libertarian Todd Hagopian.
With 100% of precincts reporting, Hiett, a Republican rancher from Kellyville, received 1,098,561 votes, more than 76% cast.
Hiett won a first term on the commission in 2014 after narrowly defeating term-limited Sen. Cliff Branan in the GOP primary. There was no other opponent in that race.
As he sought re-election, Hiett talked about how the hard work of both elected commissioners and the agency’s staff had resulted in some of the lowest costs in the nation for electricity for Oklahomans, plus the fact that state residents were feeling far fewer earthquakes than they were when he first took office.
As a commissioner, Hiett said he remains impressed about the importance of the agency and the role it plays in making Oklahomans' lives better.
“Almost every resident of our state is touched by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, either directly or indirectly,” Hiett said. “Even outside of electricity use, which impacts everyone, people fuel up their cars, they work for the oil and gas industry that is so important to our economy and they buy and sell goods and materials that are shipped using the trucking industry.”
The commission also regulates issues involving cotton gins, the dispensing of motor fuels and related underground petroleum storage tanks, pipeline safety enforcement, railroad intersections with roads and intrastate passenger and freight hauling services.
Currently, commissioners are considering a case that challenges the agency's authority to regulate oil and gas activities on tribal lands.
