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%.

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.
