This is your opportunity to learn and ask questions about the candidates’ positions on areas of interest to you including development of Downtown Tulsa, the Arkansas River, and the role of arts and culture in Tulsa’s economic development. A particular focus will be on Downtown Tulsa in terms of highlighting the urgency of confronting the new realities of the 21st Century with decisive strategies, including major strategic investment in Downtown, and in the human capital, via the arts, that will attract and retain talent of all ages to our community.

Following that, we will take questions from the audience, allowing each candidate to respond to each question. We will ask as many questions as time allows.
