| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I hope to use what we have more effectively and efficiently for better quality outcomes. I’m running for city council because district three needs a strong advocate that will show we are not a forgotten part of Tulsa. Is there anything you would like to add? Our district three leadership has been in power for to long and we have got very little during the family tenure. It’s time we have a new voice, new direction, and new relationships inside district three.[2] |
