From the Muskogee Phoenix:
Mayor won't seek new term
Hammons plans to attend law school
Mayor John Tyler Hammons said Thursday that he would step aside next year at the end of his second term to pursue a law degree.
Hammons dispelled speculation that he might run for the House District 14 post held by Rep. George Faught, who is seeking the Republican nomination in the 2nd Congressional District race.
Hammons said he made his decision after he received law school scholarship offers. He hopes to attend the University of Oklahoma or the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
“We’ve done a lot of good things since I’ve been here, and I’m proud of that,” Hammons said. “I’m looking forward to going back to being a private citizen. ... It’s time to seek other opportunities.”
