On top of bond issues and school board races, some Tulsa County voters in Bixby and Sapulpa cast ballots for city councilors.

In Bixby, voters re-elected Brad Girard to represent Ward 4 on the city council. Girard defeated challenger Jake Rowland with nearly 89% of the vote.

Incumbent Davood Mortazari won his bid for re-election for Sapulpa’s Ward 5 over challenger Kent Glesener with nearly 89% of the vote.

Two other Sapulpa council races appeared on ballots in Creek County. Ward 1 Councilor Elizabeth Nicolas secured her re-election over challenger Mike Harris with nearly 59% of the vote, but Ward 3 Councilor Alexander Hamilton lost his race to challenger Charlie Leroy Harrison, who captured nearly 55% of the vote.

These results are preliminary and must be certified by the secretary of the state election board.
