Former state Rep. Richard Morrissette said Wednesday he would run for the Ward 4 seat on the Oklahoma City Council.

Morrissette, 60, recently finished 12 years in the Oklahoma House, representing District 92 in south Oklahoma City.

An attorney, Morrissette described himself as a "longtime servant and resident" of Ward 4.

And south Oklahoma City residents, he said, are the "hardest-working and best people not only in Oklahoma City but in all of Oklahoma."
