One challenged candidate in the Tulsa Sheriff’s race will stay on the ballot. Three others, after hearings before the Election Board, are removed. Of the four challenged, only John Fitzpatrick was deemed qualified. He says he was surprised he was challenged in the first place, but confident he meet the requirements.
Arthur Jackson and Eric Richter were stricken from the candidate list for not meeting qualifications to run in the parties where they registered. Candidate Henry Jones did not show for his hearing. He’s wanted on outstanding warrants. Ten candidates are left. The primary is March 1st.
