When Karvin Vega moved his whole family 3,866 miles from Anchorage, Alaska to Oklahoma City, he knew they would grow roots in their brand-new city. Vega is a member of the Air Force who recently transitioned to work at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
As relatively new residents with no plans to leave any time soon, Vega decided it was time he and his wife, Bonnie registered to vote in Oklahoma and make their voice count in the community they now call home. So they packed up their two kids, Alyssa (10) and Christian (5) and made the trip from their home in Edmond to downtown OKC where they saw on social media that their new home team, the Thunder was hosting a voter registration drive at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
