Mayor Bob LaFortune endorses Karen

 

 

 

 

Karen Keith’s proven effectiveness makes her a natural… in fact crucial… addition to the County Commission.

Karen’s wide ranging experience, deep love for our community and people and competence at building
bi-partisan relationships, foretell she will bring us together in ways that will make a crucial difference to Tulsa’s future.  We need her voice and unique ability on the County Commission, forging partnerships for progress in Tulsa.

"Of the hundreds of folks who have become part of my professional and personal life, I consider Karen Keith to be one of the most valued. Karen is intelligent, thoughtfully decisive, and most of all has a huge measure of common sense. What a special dimension Karen would bring to Tulsa County's Board of Commissioners!"

Betty Boyd

 

“It’s more important to me that we elect the right person than it is to get a republican elected to a county office.
I’ve known and worked with Karen on many projects over the years.   Karen cares about Tulsa County and knows how to get things done!  She is the right person for this job.”

Bob Dick


"The County Commission race should not be about political affiliation. It should be about putting the best possible person in office. That person is Karen Keith. Karen is well known and respected in the community; in a word, she has credibility. And for good reason, she has the rare kind of work ethic and integrity we would be fortunate to find in any elected official at any level. Karen is not motivated by a desire for influence or the perceived prestige that goes along with holding office. She believes that the position of County Commissioner is not one of privilege but of service and sacrifice. Her passion is her community and you see it in all that she does. For all of the reasons noted above, I am proud to call Karen Keith my friend. I hope I will soon be able to call her my County Commissioner."

Clay Bird

 

"I encourage those who may be voting along party lines this election year, to "split your ticket" as I plan to do in November, to support Karen Keith for County Commissioner District 2. Karen is by far the best qualified and most in-touch candidate District 2 has, and she can bring the much needed progress and civility to the government process. Karen is more than the television anchorwoman that adorned our television sets each day, she is a much respected community leader who has brought economic development to not only Brookside--but Tulsa and Oklahoma. Her experience and ability to reach ALL Tulsa County residents is exactly what Tulsa County needs right now and she will work diligently to represent the WHOLE county."

Kim Fuller

 

Karen Keith will make an exceptional Tulsa County Commissioner. Karen's breadth of experience, political sophistication, and commitment to our community, makes her the people's choice. Without hesitation or reservation, I endorse and encourage others to support this visionary and collaborative leader for Tulsa County Commissioner.

Rarely in politics does a candidate for political office run for purely altruistic reasons rather than to fulfill a personal agenda or vendetta. Karen Keith is a refreshing exception to the “business as usual” politics of Tulsa County. Karen will bring a revitalizing vision as a county commissioner, as well as stimulating regional partnerships that have one goal – to provide exceptional, responsible government representative of, and responsive to, the residents of District 2. (This endorsement is a personal opinion and not a reflection of official city of Sand Springs policy).

"I have known Karen Keith a generation. With her skills in media communication and public service Karen will complement the Tulsa County Commission and bring even-handed governance to her constituents. County and local government is a competitive business. Tulsa needs to face the future with effective leadership. Karen Keith can make a difference. I am pleased to support Karen's candidacy and eager for her to serve. Karen will deliver good service, not with fanfare or hubris, but through steady hard work. On the job common sense and good results are Karen's stock in trade. Tulsa County and District 2 residents deserve nothing less.

Phil Haney

 

"If there is anyone who can bring this city together as a community and a force on the local, state, and national level, it would be Karen Keith. I have worked with Karen on various projects throughout the years and know of no one who has more honesty, faith, and compassion for the Tulsa community. Karen is a true provider of leadership skills while being able to represent a multitude of diverse interests of all of the community."

Teresa Buchert

 

"Tulsa County will benefit greatly with Karen serving as our next County Commissioner. She is energetic, enthusiastic and more importantly truthful and fair-minded. She will be a dedicated and hardworking commissioner. I know she has a deep love for Oklahoma and its economic development and wants to see our region prosper. I am looking forward to the day Karen Keith goes to work for the county."

Sid Shupack

 

"I am pleased to endorse Karen Keith for the office of County Commissioner. I know she will work diligently and in the best interests of the people of Tulsa County. Her honesty and vision will serve us well and I look forward in asking others to support her election."

Fred Rahal

 

"I have known Karen Keith personally for over 15 years. She is hard working, honest, and cares deeply about Tulsa."

Irene Barns

 

I have known and worked with Karen for a number of years. She has always impressed me with her vision, dedication, and enthusiasm. Her experience, personal skills, ability to work with others, and professionalism will make Karen an outstanding Tulsa County Commissioner.

Pat Woodrum

 

We are so very pleased that Karen Keith is running for County Commissioner.  We have admired Karen's work with both Republicans (Bill La Fortune) and Democrats and have felt her commitment always above party to work for the good of the City, the County and the State. She would be a responsive and very active county commissioner.  We cannot imagine anyone more dedicated and effective.
