Having someone on our staff with his impeccable professional credentials, contacts and capabilities is a tribute to Kevin’s commitment to serving others.”

    “We’ll certainly miss Randy and his distinguished service to the citizens of Oklahoma County, but we know he’ll continue to proudly serve Edmond, as well as our entire state, as the District 81 state representative. I couldn’t be more proud of Randy and his commitment to public service.”

    Jacobs graduated from Shawnee High School in 1978 and from Oklahoma Christian College, now Oklahoma Christian University, in 1982 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Law in 1985. He has maintained a private law practice focusing on business planning, real estate and estate planning.
