The Pauls Valley resident and self-described “Democrat Oil Man,” faces stiff competition for control of the 16-county district from Republican incumbent Tom Cole. Cole, whose political career began in 1988, first won the District 4 seat in 2002, and easily won bids for re-election in 2004 and 2006. As someone with no prior political experience, Cummings seems to have his work cut out for him. But he’s not too worried about it.
