A committee tasked with nominating the interim Ward 2 Norman City Councilmember has chosen the OU Carl Albert Centerâs director of National Education for Womenâs Leadership and Civic Engagement to be approved in the May 11 city council meeting.
The committee, which consisted of Britton Perry â former Ward 2 councilor David Perryâs son â Richard Stawicki and Aleisha Karjala, according to an article by the Norman Transcript, chose Lauren Schueler based on her âready answers, broad experience and determination.â Â
Originally there were ten candidates vying for the position after Ward 2 councilor Matt McGarry stepped down a month after his election to accept a job offer at an Ivy League institution. Following this instance, the committee formed to find a new councilmember. Â

A committee to find an interim Ward 2 City Councilor nominated Lauren Schueler unanimously, beating out four other contenders in what was a âdifficult decision,â the deciders said.
If approved by the council during the Tuesday, May 11 meeting, Scheuler will be sworn into the Ward 2 seat.
The office has been empty twice in the last year following the death of David Perry and then the resignation of Matt McGarry, who won the Feb. 2021 election.
Committee members Richard Stawicki, Aleisha Karjala and Britton Perry â son of David Perry â found Schuelerâs ready answers, broad experience and determination to seek the Feb. 2022 term all favorable reasons for their choice.
