TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Ten candidates vying to become Tulsa County's next sheriff will meet in several debates scheduled throughout February.

On Monday, the League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Voters will host a candidate forum beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Tulsa Community College.
Candidates will appear February 19th at a Tulsa Republican Club forum starting at 11:30 a.m. at the Summit Club.
The special primary election is March 1st.
