“G.T. Bynum is the one candidate ready to unite all of Tulsa so we can embark on a journey to make our city great,” said new member William Tisdale, local business leader. Another new addition, former City Councilor Bill Christiansen, embraced his new role saying “G.T. Bynum and I worked side by side on the City Council for years, promoting conservative solutions for Tulsa. He’s been a staunch supporter of our police officers, firefighters and their families. I am proud to serve on his steering committee.”
The announcement of the expanded steering committee comes on the heels of a fundraising quarter where challenger Bynum more than doubled the fundraising of the incumbent. That amount raised did not include proceeds from a successful kick-off fundraising event that saw more than 200 Tulsans come together last month to support Bynum. “The excitement for our city’s potential, even during these tough economic times, is invigorating,” Bynum said.
“Every day, I meet Tulsans who share my goal of uniting our city and unlocking its potential. Tulsa is a special place. It’s time to rekindle that spirit of high expectations that made us great in the first place,” Bynum concluded.
