Conservative Christians don’t seem to have a great choice on the ballot for Mayor August 25.

That is not to challenge the validity of anyone’s faith but finding a conservative Christian in government is a rare treat in Tulsa these days. Party registration is not reliable. Governments is full of liberal Democrats who have reregistered as Republicans because Democrats are unelectable.

Tulsa’s mayoral  candidates are:

Republican Mayor G.T. Bynum

This election is his to lose. He has the most money, the most name recognition and the most powerful backers. The only bright spot is that he has promised not to run again after 2020.

Republican Ty Walker

He is a successful small businessman, a Christian and smart.

Republican Ken Reddick

There are some mysteries in Reddick’s background.

Democrat Zackri Leon Whitlow

Whilow wants a subway in Tulsa (not the sandwich).

Democrat Gregory C. Robinson II

Robinson worked on the mayoral campaign of ex-Mayor Kathy Taylor and therefore he can’t be conservative.

Independent Craig Immel

Immel wants “community policing” and for Tulsa to move away from a “militarized” police force.

Independent Paul Tay

Tay wants to legalize recreational marijuana.


Walker would probably make the best mayor of this bunch.

Despite his fumbling of the coronavirus situation, his endorsement of the homosexual movement, his rush to raise taxes and his lack of moral leadership, Tulsans will undoubtedly re-elect Bynum.

The Tulsa Beacon makes no endorsement in this race.
