DEAR DISTRICT 1: LET’S TALK ABOUT RESULTS!

Before we accept another campaign slogan promising change, let’s look at what Vanessa Hall-Harper has worked to accomplish for District 1.

VANESSA HALL-HARPER’S DISTRICT 1 RESULTS INCLUDE:

- Oasis Fresh Market: Helped bring a quality grocery store to North Tulsa, which opened in 2021.
- Healthy Neighborhoods: Led efforts supporting a moratorium on discount dollar stores and a Healthy Neighborhoods Overlay.
- Second Chances: Led expungement expos that helped Tulsa residents clear criminal records.
- Public Accountability: Supported the creation of the Greater Tulsa African American Affairs Commission and advocated for independent monitoring of the Tulsa Police Department.
- Housing Advocacy: Supported the District 1 Housing Committee and efforts to help homeowners through the Save Our Homes initiative.
- Parks and Youth: Worked to revitalize B.C. Franklin Park and expand youth opportunities through community spaces.
- Economic Development: Helped advance Black Wall Street business initiatives and Greenwood redevelopment efforts.

These are documented initiatives associated with Hall-Harper’s tenure. Residents should also ask what has been completed, what remains in progress, and what measurable benefits each initiative has delivered.

Now let’s return to the questions facing District 1.

Dr. Wilson was formally invited to debate and declined, citing a prior engagement. Residents still deserve an opportunity to hear her position on an Independent Oversight Commission for Public Safety and her plans for our community.

District 1 deserves more than slogans. We deserve transparency, accountability, measurable results, and direct answers from every candidate.

THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE: WHO HAS DELIVERED, AND WHO HAS A CLEAR PLAN TO MOVE DISTRICT 1 FORWARD?

DISTRICT 1: LEADERSHIP AT CITY HALL MATTERS!

Councilor Vanessa Hall-Harper holds a leadership position at City Hall that can lead to a committee chairperson position. For a member of the minority, chairperson position can provide an important opportunity to help shape committee agendas, guide discussions, and bring District 1’s concerns directly to the table.

District 1 should understand what is at stake when choosing its next representative.

If District 1 changes representatives, we must ask an important question: Will the next councilor have the same leadership position and influence at City Hall?

Leadership is not just about holding a title. It is about understanding how City Hall works, building working relationships, setting priorities, and creating opportunities to move District 1’s needs forward.

Before we trade one representative for another, let us examine the facts: What leadership responsibilities does Vanessa Hall-Harper currently hold, what authority comes with those positions, and would a new councilor be able to retain or obtain comparable leadership?

DISTRICT 1 DESERVES TO KNOW WHAT IT COULD GAIN, WHAT IT COULD LOSE, AND HOW THAT CHANGE COULD AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY.

DISTRICT 1: WE WANT PERFORMANCE, NOT JUST PROMISES!

Why do voters challenge an incumbent Councilor? Because when elected officials fail to meet expectations, the people have every right to demand change. Accountability is the foundation of democracy.

But before we demand change in District 1, shouldn't we take a hard, honest look at the performance of our current Councilor, Vanessa Hall-Harper, and compare her record with the promises of Dr. Wilson's C3 Movement for Change?

Vanessa Hall-Harper has a record that deserves examination. From fighting for grocery access and helping bring attention to food insecurity to advancing affordable housing initiatives and addressing neighborhood infrastructure, her work gives District 1 residents concrete accomplishments to evaluate.

Now comes the question for C3: What specifically would change, how would it be accomplished, and what measurable results would District 1 residents receive?

A slogan can inspire a campaign, but a slogan alone cannot deliver results. Residents deserve specific plans, clear timelines, and accountability for promises made.

We have an old saying: “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.”

That doesn't mean an incumbent should never be challenged. It means change should be based on evidence, not simply the desire for something new.

DISTRICT 1, LET'S EXAMINE THE RECORD. LET'S QUESTION THE PROMISES. LET'S DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.

Our community deserves more than campaign slogans. We deserve results we can see, progress we can measure, and leadership that can explain what it has accomplished.

DISTRICT 1: PERFORMANCE MUST BE MEASURED. PROMISES MUST BE PROVEN. RESULTS MUST MATTER!
