What to know about Tulsa mayoral candidate Karen Keith:

Karen Keith placed second in the August primary, less than 300 votes behind Nichols.

Keith has been a Tulsa County Commissioner since 2008.

She said that throughout her campaign she felt that her 16 years as a Tulsa County commissioner had prepared her to lead the city of Tulsa.

Keith voted bright and early with her family at the Philbrook Museum on Tuesday.

Before becoming county commissioner in 2008, she worked under former Tulsa Mayor Bill LaFortune and had a close relationship with Mayor GT Bynum.

She says the city’s biggest problem is homelessness and she wants to address that problem with a combination of affordable housing, shelter and treatment options.

Keith is a Democrat but prides herself as a nonpartisan leader and believes the city needs someone who can work across party lines.

She says she wants to fight crime in the city, she supports the police and she wants to find ways to implement city projects more quickly.

Keith says running for mayor isn’t a stepping stone for her, but rather a chance to continue giving back.

“I enjoyed it, and I think my favorite part was just meeting so many Tulsans throughout the city, in some areas where I haven’t done much because my district as a county commissioner is downtown lay, and Jenks.” and all the way west,” Keith said.

Keith will be hosting a watch party at the Stokely Event Center with family, friends and supporters.
