Jeff Rabon was born in Durant, Oklahoma, and he graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in public relations and journalism.[1] After graduating college, Rabon worked as a field representative for U.S. Senator David Boren, a campaign manager and assistant for Bill Brewster, a legislative liaison for the National Rifle Association, and an administrative assistant for Jack Mildren.[2]
In April 1989, Rabon was arrested and plead guilty to transporting an open container. He received a one-year deferred sentence. In November 1989, he was again arrested for driving under the influence, plead guilty, and received two one-year suspended sentences.[3]
Rabon was elected as a member of the Democratic Party to represent the 5th district of the Oklahoma Senate in 1996, succeeding fellow Democrat Jack Bell.[4] He served in that office until term limited in 2008.[2]
In 2005, Rabon crashed his truck into a ditch near Hugo and an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer was later disciplined for not investigating the crash. In 2007, he was charged with driving under the influence for failing a field sobriety test after a three car accident.[3]
