Lead Smart, With Heart
Jacy Deck is a detail-oriented project and financial manager and community advocate who believes Norman’s best future will be built with smart planning, strong neighborhoods, and compassion for every neighbor.
With more than 20 years of professional experience in finance, budgeting, and benefit coordination, Jacy brings a steady, informed perspective to the challenges facing Norman today. Her daily work ensures every dollar is managed responsibly, transparently, and with measurable results — the same approach she will bring to City Hall.
“I believe public money should serve the public good. Norman families, small businesses, and neighborhoods deserve thoughtful investment that benefit the entire community, not just certain areas.”
Jacy works at the University of Oklahoma’s Advanced Radar Research Center. Before joining OU, she built a career in accounting, insurance, and benefit management. She’s known for solving complex problems with calm precision and turning ideas into tangible outcomes. Jacy holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor’s in Human Relations from Southern Nazarene University (summa cum laude). As a Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), she specializes in process improvement, financial modeling, and building systems that work.
But Jacy’s passion for Norman goes far beyond her professional life. She’s a community volunteer, accomplished pianist, and advocate for ending domestic and sexual violence — issues she's championed for years.
“Safety means more than policing. It means prevention, support, and healing. If we want a safer city, we must invest in services that protect people before they’re in crisis.”
A lifelong learner and problem-solver, Jacy’s vision for Norman centers on sustainable growth, neighborhood strength, and local economic vitality. She believes in building "up, not out,” prioritizing maintenance over sprawl, and reinvesting in the places and people that make a city strong.
“Our future isn’t merely in concrete, It’s in walkable streets, thriving small businesses, green spaces that bring people together, and policies that keep Norman sustainable for generations to come.”
If elected, Jacy will advocate for economic investment specific to Ward 2, which has seen many of its businesses move to other areas of town. She will focus on expanding accessible housing, infrastructure that meets the needs of all abilities, compassionate mental health community partnerships, and stormwater infrastructure that’s equitable by usage.
“I’m running because I love this community, and I believe we can lead with both head and heart — balancing fiscal discipline with humanity, so every decision we make builds a Norman that lasts.”
The Issues
Public Dollars for Public Good
Jacy will ensure every tax dollar serves the people and prioritize transparency, accountability, and investments that strengthen local business, public services, and community well-being.
Build Up, Not Out
Norman’s future depends on strengthening what we already have by investing in stable neighborhoods, revitalizing established corridors, and growing sustainably rather than simply sprawling outward.
Green Spaces, Stronger Places
Jacy believes our parks, trees, and trails are vital infrastructure, not afterthoughts. Green spaces improve health, manage stormwater, and make our city more livable for generations to come.
Prevention and Provisions
True public safety means prevention and care: supporting survivors, expanding mental health services, connecting community resources, and giving first responders the tools to answer with empathy and effectiveness.
A City That Moves Together
A robust public transportation system is one of the building blocks of a strong community. Whether walking, biking, or rolling, every resident deserves safe, accessible ways to move through Norman.
