I love the way these candidates are identified. Very cut and dry! This can be used as a great voter guide to get into the hands of all of your conservative friends and family members so that they can turn out and vote in some needed sanity into Tulsa political positions! Thank-you, Mr. Arnett!
Disappointed with the mayoral results. Republicans apparently outnumber Democrats 48% to 30% county-wide per July figures; presumably they're at least at parity with Democrats within city limits. How does it happen that the main Republican can't even obtain second place? Was never particularly impressed with Van Norman given the dearth of concrete policy positions and don't see the point of running if the candidate isn't even going to send mailers. Don't know whether it's true but Van Norman campaign apparently lacked money for mailers per phone conversation with a campaign volunteer.
Many are disappointed. According to the 2020 Census there are 413,066 residents of the City of Tulsa. Only 56,585 voted for mayor. In Tulsa County the total registered is 379,947 of a total population of 677,358. You can do the math. Some of the last precincts to report were Osage County, City of Tulsa (Gilcrease Hills area) which broke heavy for Nichols. The area media and debate moderators were liberals. For the first time, big money represented by GKFF and Cathy Taylor were divided and are now going head to head.
This farce of nonpartisan elections, strong mayor form of government, and odd voting date are all designed to advantage Democrats. I covered VanNorman's policy positions, but extensive details are often difficult to outline during campaigns or in news stories (in this attention deficit age). He did send multiple mailers and I received four (that I saved). Each mailer costs approximately $20,000.00. Typically, campaigns target those who vote in 4 out of 5 of the last elections and newly registered voters. Whomever you spoke with was mistaken. However, I believe campaigns should target independents as well - driving up cost, but I believe important.
The only bright spot, as a conservative writer, is now there will be abundant leftist stupidity to report on for the next four years but that is small comfort as a city I love will most likely see increasing taxes, regulation, and dysfunction.
Would I be wrong to suggest Tulsa is now Oklahoma's largest blueberry city?

Great script. That must have taken some heavy investigative analysis.
