On Tuesday, small business owner and U.S. Navy Veteran, Ty Walker, officially announced his bid to be the next Mayor of the City of Tulsa.
With eight people vying for the job, Ty is confident that his service in the military and life long experience as a small business owner makes him the best man for the job.
Ty says his top focus is economic development and more support for small business and entrepreneurs.
Should Ty win the Mayoral race, Ty will be the first African American to serve as Mayor of Tulsa since its inception in 1898.
It starts with growing an environment where businesses can flourish,” says Mr. Walker.
