TPS District 3 School Board

• No endorsement
• However, of the two Dorie Simmons is the more moderate candidate.

Tulsa Tech School Board Office No. 2

• Both candidates are Republicans – Kibbe has the educational background, but Blackburn has a business background. The Tulsa Beacon would suggest Blackburn just to bring some common sense into education.

OK House District 71 Special Election Primary

• Democrat primary – no endorsement
• Republican primary – Beverly Atteberry

 OK House District 74 Special Election Primary

• Republican Primary – Johnathon Shepherd
• Mark Vancuren voted like a moderate Republican, his wife Sheila could very well continue in that style.

 Glenpool City Council Ward 2

• The Tulsa Beacon recommends Christopher Anthony Brobst
• His opponent, Kim Hanson-Mercier is a proponent of Smart Growth, which is usually endorsed by liberals.

 Jenks City Council Ward 6

• In this heated race with 2 adversarial opponents it is hard to know the truth.  Cory Box seems to want progress and growth, whereas Catherine Lenhart seems to want to put on the brakes, and slow it down and maintain the character of Jenks. No recommendation given, but we do agree with Lenhart that government should be transparent especially in finances.
