Facts Checked On Campaign Claims

Tulsa mayoral candidates’ ads put to a fact check

By ZACK STOYCOFF World Staff Writer

Tulsa’s mayoral candidates agree on one thing about their first television ads since June’s primary election: Only one candidate is being entirely truthful.

Mayor Dewey Bartlett accused former Mayor Kathy Taylor on Tuesday of “decisive, negative” campaigning with her recent ad targeting the city’s green-waste problems and his tax record, and he denounced another ad’s claims about her jobs record as “dishonest.”

Taylor responded by calling several claims in Bartlett’s latest television ad misleading and rejected it as an “old-style political ad” that relies on attacks rather than solutions for issues.

Bartlett, a Republican, and Taylor, a Democrat, ousted former City Councilor Bill Christiansen in the June 11 nonpartisan primary vote and will face off again in the Nov. 12 general election.
