"I believe in Tulsa. Tulsa has given me everything. It’s time to take our city to the next level."
TULSA, OK – State Rep. Monroe Nichols officially announced his campaign to become Tulsa's next mayor. As Tulsa mayor, Nichols brings to the race a vision to grow Tulsa’s economy, end homelessness, make Tulsa the safest big city in the country and improve the quality of life for every Tulsa family, regardless of zip code.
In the state legislature, Nichols is a fierce advocate for Tulsa, championing issues such as public education, access to affordable housing and healthcare, criminal justice reform, and economic development. Nichols has worked across the aisle to pass impactful bipartisan legislation, keeping his focus on one goal – putting people before politics.
“After serving Tulsa for four terms in the state legislature, I’m announcing my candidacy for mayor because it is time to take our city to the next level," Nichols said. "I love this city. Tulsa has given me everything. It's where I earned my college degree, where I've chosen to raise my son, and where I've worked hard to create jobs and grow businesses. I have also had the honor of serving this city on the Tulsa Tech School Board and in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
“As mayor, I will work tirelessly to ensure that every Tulsan has the opportunity to thrive. I’m entering this race because Tulsans deserve a mayor who is accessible, accountable and has the energy and work ethic necessary to address the needs of our city. I will be that mayor and together there isn’t one challenge we can’t solve.”
As the first candidate to announce, Nichols will engage directly with voters and build a broad coalition of supporters with a shared vision for Tulsa’s future. The campaign plans to host a public kickoff event this fall.
