Vote no confidence in Tulsa Public Schools on Tuesday, June 8, 2021
Disappointed with Tulsa Public School's bloated and inept administration? A "no" vote in Tuesday's (June 8, 2021) TPS bond election is an effective way to cast a vote of no confidence and register a demand for real change.

Look for the Chamber label -- then vote for someone else
It may seem counter-intuitive, but if you're a conservative, the Chamber of Commerce is not your friend. Not the U. S.

If you're a conservative voting in the Republican primary, look to see whom the Chambers are supporting, then give your vote to some other candidate. If the Chambers are attacking a Republican candidate, she's probably worthy of your enthusiastic backing.
