Cody "Coda" Scott, master of True Power Martial Arts Academy, is running for City Councilman Seat IV in Stillwater, OK.

Close friends back in Stillwater recently brought this news to my attention and sent me a series of links:

Stillwater Online Forum's thread "ASK: Cody Scott 2011"

The Stillwater Watchdog's announcement of the mayor's endorsement of Cody's candidacy.

His campaign Facebook page.

Cody's past appears to have gone largely unmentioned, one would assume this is simply because he's going by Cody rather than Coda. Though it looks like someone, somewhere has brought it up, judging from the garbled discussion at the Stillwater Watchdog site where it seems Scott is the favored candidate.

Cody is the only challenger to the incumbent Darrel Dougherty, which may present us with a problem. Unfortunately, today, March 1, is the day of the primary, and according to the Stillwater charter:

So it may already be "too late".

I will have more for you as the numbers come in. Depending upon how the vote turns out, further action may need to be taken.

Stay tuned for all the latest in Cody "Coda" Scott news!

There were only a hand full of situations where I thought I'd be voting for Darrel Dougherty, I can't believe that one of them actually happened.

This is simply unreal...

From the Stillwater Newspress
STILLWATER, Okla. — In Tuesday's Stillwater City Council Seat 4 Primary:

With 23 of 23 precincts reporting, in unofficial returns:

-

Cody Scott 1,548

Incumbent Darrell Dougherty 1,330

Bob Cawlfield 61

One candidate drawing more than 50 percent of the vote eliminates the need for a general election in this race in April. Seat 3 will be on the April general election ballot.

This is insane. This was a decision between a douche and a turd sandwich, but I never though he would actually win.
