Tulsa Mayoral Election Primary
- Thread starter drboobay
- Start date
Monroe has been a good state representative for my district. He is responsive and connects well with people. I hope he wins.
That said, I suspect Keith has the edge grabbing the Vannorman voters.

Keith seems like a nice person and I would see her mayoral tenure as kind of a caretaker role. I think she would be a consensus builder. But I don't know if we would get big and bold.
Monroe worked his house district like crazy to get out the vote. My neighbor held a "come meet Monroe" event at a brewery on sixth street last week. They canvassed the neighborhood encouraging votes and signs. He seems like a bolder leader, which is why I prefer him. Plus he supports my pet project with actions - which is passenger rail for Tulsa (which is obviously not a main piller of his campaign, but still...).
We are about to enter a phase where other cities will be bounding past us with updated public facilities like arenas, convention hotels, stadiums. We need a mayor willing to take risks - and working collaboratively with the tribes could help. That's alongside making real headway on homelessness, which he is promoting as part of his campaign.

I don't believe in party lines or other cult enforcement tactics. This makes me want to vote Keith now.

State Democrats deny Karen Keith access to voter database; she blames 'far-left activists'
The state party Central Committee made the decision in part over concern that the information would be accessed by a campaign consultant who represents Republicans.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party has much more to worry about than Keith’s consultant having access to party information. I don’t believe that excuse for a minute btw. It’s a ploy to give Monroe an advantage in the race. I predict this move will backfire and motivate VanNorman voters to vote for Keith as it paints her as the non Democratic Party establishment candidate.
Feel like Monroe is missing a huge opportunity here by not demanding the state Democratic Party to provide Keith the same resources as far as data as they’ve provided him. Such a move would certainly earn him votes imo.
"Democrat State Party Central Committee"... hmmmmI don't believe in party lines or other cult enforcement tactics. This makes me want to vote Keith now.

There is a Leadership Council with members elected by precinct reps and a Republican National Committee...
Never heard of a Party Central Committee except in the CP.. till now
No, but I don't know that I would trust it if I saw it. Polling in the first election showed Keith getting 46%, and Van Norman and Nichols getting much less. Obviously they had a bunch of people who were not going to vote, paid little attention to the candidate's, and just recognized Kieth's name.
