Tulsa mayor joins KRMG during an exciting election night

Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum stopped by to give commentary during a very close election Tuesday on a special edition of the KRMG Afternoon News with Skyler Cooper.

Representative Monroe Nichols ended up with 33.10% of the votes Tuesday night. Former County Commissioner Karen Keith came in a very close second with 32.62%.

Businessman Brent VanNorman ended up with 31.84%.

Bynum didn’t endorse a mayoral candidate, but did tell KRMG that he predicted Keith to win.

When asked what he wishes he knew ahead of his victory, Mayor Bynum said he didn’t realize being the mayor of Tulsa becomes your identity and consumes every minute of your life.

Mayor Bynum also says one of his biggest fears was sleeping through an important call from the police chief, so he always checked his phone first thing in the morning.
