Sims, Tulsa Co. District 2 Candidate, Hosts Watch Party At Route 66 Historical Village

Two people are running for the Tulsa County Commissioner seat as Karen Keith steps down to run for Tulsa mayor.

Candidate Lonnie Sims and his family are setting up for their watch party at the Route 66 Historical Village, where they specifically chose to gather to emphasize his focus on Tulsa County’s west side.

Sims, running for County Commissioner, says he wants to give back to the community as a husband and father.

If elected, he would take over the position currently held by Karen Keith and says his experience in leadership roles at the municipal level in Jenks and as a state representative prepares him well.

Sims expects around 100 supporters to attend and is excited to thank them in person.

Currently, he's setting up big-screen TVs for the event but plans to move between watch parties throughout the night to show his appreciation for the support he's received.

His priorities include improving county infrastructure and encouraging business growth and community development on the county’s west side.
