On Saturday, August 29, TARA held a candidate forum and endorsing meeting.  Many of the Republican candidates for Mayor, Auditor, and City Council spoke and answered questions from the audience.  After a lengthy discussion, members of TARA voted to make these endorsements:

 

Mayor        Chris Medlock

City Councilor, Dist. 4         Rocky Frisco

City Councilor, Dist. 5         No Endorsement

City Councilor, Dist. 6         Jim Mautino

In order to receive an endorsement, the candidate must have received a two-thirds supermajority of the votes cast at the meeting.  This endorsement is also binding on our umbrella organizations, the Oklahoma Republican Assembly and the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.  The endorsed candidates may state that they have been endorsed by the Tulsa Area Republican Assembly, the Oklahoma Republican Assembly and the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.
