My Official Response to the Recall Petition

Councilor Chris Medlock and I are honored that you, our constituents, elected us as your voice in city government.

We both took an oath to be good stewards of your government. We further promised, during our campaigns, to ensure that Tulsa’s city government serves all Tulsans and not just a favored few.

We promised to serve you with integrity. By keeping these promises, we have angered many who have previously benefited financially from old practices.

We agree with Mayor LaFortune who said recall “hampers our effort to find real solutions to the problems facing” Tulsa.

We agree with the League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Tulsa when they say this recall:

::Would be a waste of time, energy and money.

::Contains accusations in this petition that do not specify reasons for recall which are consistent with Oklahoma law.

::Effectively disenfranchises you, the residents of District 6.

Chris Medlock and I thank you for allowing us to serve you as Tulsa city councilors.

We promise to continue to work hard ensuring your business in city government is conducted with integrity.
