Oklahoma City voters will decide whether to approve a 1% sales tax to fund a new downtown arena for the NBA's Thunder.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt is unveiling a proposal for a new $900 million downtown arena that would keep the NBA's Thunder in the city through at least 2050 if approved by voters.

FILE - In this Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020, file photo, U.S. Rep. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., speaks during a news conference in front of a post office in Oklahoma City. But Horn won't have the element of surprise in this year's contest against Republican state Sen. Stephanie Bice. “This is not some right-wing paradise in Oklahoma City," said Mayor David Holt, who has avoided endorsing either candidate. “Oklahoma City does not have the same profile as the state of Oklahoma, and Congresswoman Horn's election was probably the strongest statement yet that the city was changing and behaving, really, more like a big city." Holt, who was a Republican state senator before being elected Oklahoma City's mayor in 2018, said either the Democratic or Republican candidate would fit the city well.
