Oklahoma Auditor and Inspector Gary Jones cites budget expertise in run for governor

Editor's note: This is the sixth in an occasional series about the candidates for Oklahoma governor.

Gary Jones tends to get deep into the weeds.

He's a numbers guy, a certified public accountant who has been the state auditor and inspector for seven years.

So as he campaigns for governor, his knowledge of budget numbers and processes sometimes overwhelms opportunities for sound bites and slogans. Not to mention that it possibly bewilders listeners.
