He will face Mayor Jay Dee Collins, who garnered 35 percent of votes, in April. “I think that's what was said last night (was) ‘if you're going to take office you better at least take the time to listen to the concerns of your constituents or we'll kick you out, too,' that's kind of my analogy,” Dukes said Wednesday. Collins was not available for comment but released a statement saying he was disappointed in the results of the election and thanked his supporters for their hard work and commitment. Residents circulated a petition last year to have Collins recalled, complaining that he supported Midwest City Manager J.
