Oklahoma Channel interviews Tulsa mayor candidates

The Oklahoma Channel (Cox Cable Channel 3) is doing a series of eight-minute interviews with the candidates for Tulsa mayor and posting the interviews on YouTube. John Erling asked the following questions of each candidates (my paraphrase) -- most candidates got most of the questions, but there was some variation.

• Tell us about your professional background.
• What motivates you to run for mayor?
• What would you write in a job description for the job of mayor?
• What skills are most important to be mayor?
• To complement your strengths and weaknesses, what skills would you seek for your appointed positions?
• Give us an example from your work background that would apply the role from mayor (management or project leadership).
• What do you see ahead for the City of Tulsa in the next five years, and how are you planning for that future?
• What would be the most immediate challenges you would address in your first three months as mayor?
• What are Tulsa's most important assets?
• What have been the city's successes in the last four years?
• What would you say to a CEO considering bringing 600 jobs to Tulsa?
• Does it make a difference whether a mayor is a Democrat or a Republican?
• Is it important to have a good working relationship with the Chamber of Commerce?
