Mayor Dewey Bartlett and former mayor Kathy Taylor are heading to the November ballot in Tulsa’s first nonpartisan mayoral election.
Taylor had a secure lead Tuesday night over the incumbent, and former City Councilor Bill Christiansen was a distant third.
Perennial candidate Lawrence Kirkpatrick and first-time candidate Jerry Branch also were on the ballot.
With 196 of 196 precincts reporting, the State Election Board showed Taylor with 24,495 votes, to Bartlett’s 19,937 and Christiansen’s 13,476. The other two candidates just over 300 votes combined.
