Mark Perkins, does he have a chance?

Has an Independent ever won anything in Tulsa?

Houston Adams won the Water and Sewer Commissioner race in 1986 as an independent, although he was a registered Democrat, picked by the party to file after incumbent Democratic Commissioner Patty Eaton filed to run for Mayor as an independent. Under the old charter, candidates could file as independents up to 10 days before the general election, and Eaton made her move after gadfly Tom Quinn knocked off incumbent Mayor Terry Young in the Democratic primary.

David Patrick was elected as an independent to District 3 City Council in 2008, after winning and losing previous elections as a Democrat.

Under the present 1989 charter and the previous 1909 charter, those are the only two in a century.

Since when did you put your conscience over party loyalty or pocket book? The devil would have supported your choice had it been delivered by a clear conscience. Do you know Mark? Is this support a result of having a mutual interest?

That avatar is a loser...

I've always put personal conscience ahead of party loyalty.

Which mutual interest do you speak of?



Personally, I don't give two shits what you think of my avatars.
