MAYORAL CANDIDATES: From left, Dewey Bartlett Jr. – The veteran businessman and politician says that his campaign “will focus on transparency in City Hall and creating jobs to grow the tax base, not the size of city government.”
Tom Adelson – He wants to “build unity with the city council” and supports city development that “respects the integrity of neighborhoods.” He beat Bartlett in the 2004 Oklahoma Senate race.
Chris Medlock – Saying he is not a midtown millionaire, Medlock explains that he drives a Dodge. The former city councilor and radio talk show host may get the support of Sally Bell of the Tulsa County Republican Party.

Three of the council races — in Districts 2, 5 and 8 — will be decided by the primaries, while council contests in Districts 4 and 6 will advance candidates to the Nov. 10 general election.
Tulsa County Election Board Secretary Patty Bryant expects voter turnout to be 30,000 to 50,000 — or 16 to 27 percent — of the 187,584 eligible voters. That’s light, but normal for city primaries.
An unknown factor, Bryant said, is the effect the Labor Day holiday the day before the election will have, with some people taking longer weekends.
“Personally, I just think it will be up to the individual campaigns to turn out their vote,” she said.
Tulsa County Republican Party Chairwoman Sally Bell said that with 11 GOP candidates vying for the party’s nod for mayor, she’s unsure what will happen.
