County Commissioner Karen Keith announced her candidacy for Mayor of Tulsa Sunday morning.

Keith is currently serving her fourth term as county commissioner.

In Keith's candidacy announcement, she states:

“I love Tulsa, and we have made monumental strides to become a more dynamic city, but we must keep the momentum. The next mayor will craft the vision beyond 2025. We need to listen to our citizens so that we craft a community vision for all of Tulsa."

“I hear concerns about infrastructure, public safety, facilities, education and parks, but we need a vision for people; to inspire youth, to keep seniors safe and engaged, to keep our workers employed and we must absolutely address homelessness. I have demonstrated that I am an independent thinker and the most experienced and proven leader to do just that.”

The election will take place in August 2024.
