On this installment of StudioTulsa, we present the first in a 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 show, we hear from Democrat Kathy Taylor, who was the 38th Mayor of Tulsa, serving from 2006 until 2009; prior to her tenure as Mayor, she was the State of Oklahoma's Secretary of Commerce and Tourism. (We will hear from Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr., the current Mayor of Tulsa, now running for re-election, on tomorrow's program.) 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.
