“I put this on the agenda mainly because the budget board approved this for funding on July 15,” Hooten told commissioners Monday. Hooten performed at a Donald Trump fundraiser hosted by the Switzers in Norman in 2016. According to a report by KWTV, Switzer has appeared in digital video ads supporting Hooten, who is also an accomplished trumpet player. Hooten is currently running for state treasurer, and Barry Switzer donated the maximum $2,900 to Hooten’s primary campaign in August. Ground Zero was founded in 2017 by Barry and Becky Switzer. It called for the approval of up to $25 million in county American Rescue Plan Act funds to be spent on the construction of a K-9 training center to be run by Ground Zero, a nonprofit that trains dogs for search and rescue efforts. Hooten requested the item be placed on Monday’s meeting agenda for discussion.
Following a terse and at times awkward exchange with Oklahoma County Clerk David Hooten, the Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners took no action on a proposed K-9 training center to be operated by a nonprofit co-founded by former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer.
