H e l l o Hughes County! My name is Dale Stringer and I am seeking your vote for District #3 Commissioner. I feel blessed to be able to call Hughes County my home as I am a lifelong resident. After I graduated from Allen Public Schools, I worked in the family construction business until 2006. In 2007 I began working for District #3 and in 2010, Commissioner Jim Searcy appointed me as Foreman. I have learned much from my time and experience as a county employee. Without my family, friends and community support, I would not have made it this far. Members of my family include Arlan and Norva Wilson of Gerty, my son Micah Stringer of Allen, sister Rhonda Cupps and husband Roger of Ada, sister Shana Wilson of Ada and sister Kimberly Dalinger of Gerty. I am asking for your vote on November 9, 2021 for Hughes County District #3 Commissioner as I want to continue to serve the citizens of my District to the best of my abilities.
