From 1995:

"A former candidate for mayor and the state Legislature has
announced plans to run for the District 4 City Council post.
Chuck McKinnon, 35, said he was running for the seat, held by
Gary Watts, a Democrat, because "a lot of changes need to be made
and I'm willing..."

There are some more recent articles that mention Mr McKinnon's
involvement with mental health issues.  Older articles mention him
running for mayor.

Go to the Tulsa World archive page and search for "chuck mckinnon"
(using quotation marks). You'll see him mentioned in about 30
articles.

I read through some of these articles via a public library database. 
They mention Mr McKinnon RUNNING for various offices, but not actually
holding any public offices.

I hope this helps.

Thank you. . .this is exactly what I need to know.

I am a native of Oklahoma. I could find nothing online about a
legislator by this name, and I've never heard of him. Where did you
learn of this person, and why do you think he is a current or former
Oklahoma legislator?

I met this man recently, in Wisconsin.  He told me he had been active
in Oklahoma and working for Insurance Parity and mental health.  I
couldn't find him on line either.  Thanks!  Could it be another state?

Wow! Great work, Juggler!
