OMAG is pleased to announce that Daniel Tarkington, Mayor of the City of Checotah, has been re-elected to the OMAG Board of Trustees for another three-year term. He has served on the OMAG Board since being appointed in 2018 and is currently the Board Secretary.

Daniel is a member of the Mayor’s Council of Oklahoma and a graduate of the OML Leadership Class VI. He began his municipal career as a Checotah employee but successfully ran for Mayor in 2015. Since becoming Mayor, he has been instrumental in revitalizing the community. Under Daniel’s guidance, the City has held two festivals, significantly improved the City’s curb appeal along Highway 69 and Interstate 40, and is preparing to move into a new City Hall.

Mayor Tarkington is devoted to his wife Jamie, daughter RayLynn, and they are looking forward to a new addition coming soon. Although Daniel works long hours for Checotah, occasionally you may find him on one of the local dirt tracks where he is a very successful race car driver.

Please take a moment to congratulate Mayor Tarkington on his re-election to the OMAG Board.
