You betcha, she's his aunt.
Harold's Father, Harold, Sr. was a congressman caught up in the Butcher Brother Bank collapse. He was the only one involved that wasn't convicted (the trial was in Memphis).
Harold's Uncle is John Ford, who resigned from the State Senate after being indicted in the TN Waltz. He has since been convicted of some of the charges.
Harold's Aunt Ophelia replaced her brother John in the State Senate when he resigned. Later she ran for and won that seat, but the Senate kicked her out because too many dead voters had been documented. That seat remained empty until she ran for it again, and won in a landslide.
Sounds like Oklahoma’s Gene Stipe’s......Good ‘Ol boy network.....
On a personal note, she is absolutely hideous.
