The Homestretch of Tulsa's 2013 Mayoral Race: A Chat with Dewey Bartlett

Aired on Wednesday, October 30th.

On this edition of StudioTulsa, we present the second in our two-part series of interviews with the candidates appearing on the ballot for Mayor in the upcoming November 12th general election here in the City of Tulsa. On today's program, we hear from Republican Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr., the current Mayor of our city, who was elected to this post on November 10, 2009, and who is seeking re-election. (We spoke with Kathy Taylor, the 38th Mayor of Tulsa, who's now seeking to replace Mayor Bartlett, on yesterday's show.) You can learn more about this non-partisan general election --- including more about other names and issues that will appear elsewhere on the ballot --- by accessing this 2013 Election Guide at the Tulsa City-County Library's website.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
