Republican Randi Miller files in Tulsa mayoral raceCandidate filing for city offices closed today with surprises and amusement. The last-minute entry of Tulsa County Commissioner Randi Miller into the mayor’s race suggests a lively and close primary contest for Republicans as Mayor Bill LaFortune battles to retain the job. Former State Representative Don McCorkell and former Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce Kathy Taylor should compete with passion reflecting the deep divide within the Tulsa County Democrat Party.
Local characters “Accountability” Burns and Paul “Bicycle Boy” Tay should provide gist for humor, but Tulsans are looking for competence in leadership, knowledge of city issues, and the ability to guide Tulsa’s growth as a dynamic city in the 21st Century.
A complete listing of the candidates follows and in weeks to come Tulsa Today will interview the candidates for your careful consideration. For the office of Mayor we are most interested in asking candidates the following:
1.) Define Tulsa in 10 words or less.
2.) Define your vision for Tulsa’s future.
3.) What specific goals do you expect to achieve during the term?
4.) Who will you appoint to key positions within your administration?
5.) How will you maintain a substantive ongoing conversation with Tulsa citizens?
6.) Will you pledge not to lie, steal, cheat, or hang with those who do?
7.) Why should we trust you in this important job at this important time?
We look forward to bringing you their answers – or not.
Tulsa Today will post interviews as they become available. We will also accept paid political advertising (the publisher was against that, but staff out-voted him). Analysis of all races will be posted prior to both the primary election March 7th and the general election April 4th.
