Hello, my name is Wade Scarbrough. I’m your incumbent candidate for Archer County Commissioner Precinct 1.

My wife, Summer, and I live on a farm in south Archer County where we are raising our five children. We moved here about six years ago because we wanted to raise our family here. I met my wife in high school; we married while attending Oklahoma State University and both attended UT School of Law together.
