Christian Bengel
INTEGRITY, COURAGE, WORK ETHIC, RESPONSIVE
FOR TULSA CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 6
​
I support, and will always stand behind our firefighters, police, and first responders without hesitation!
​
I have and will continue to defend all citizens regardless of identity to ensure equality in the law. Sitting in the dockets of our Municipal Judges several times has allowed me to validate our citizens are treated with respect and fairness.
​
Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving the citizens of District 6 for the past 2 years. I ask you to continue that trust, as we work together to rebuild our community. Citizens don't expect the moon, but they do expect you to be honest, keep your word, and fiercely advocate for their community. I've done just that!
​
Just as I advocated previously, Town Halls should make use of technology. Every Town Hall we've had with one exception due to a holiday has been on Facebook live. We've also used Nextdoor. Elected representatives must go where their audience is. Because citizens have everyday lives and can't make it, we provide convenience. Trending of emails is how I determine necessity. Quantity does not equal quality. The citizen-employees of Tulsa are a resource, and work all day. We need to use those resources wisely and purposefully.
Nothing gets done alone! Working with others to get things done is imperative. Service during initial term includes Tulsa Area United Way Neighborhood Engagement committee, Vice-Chair of Route 66 Commission, Pre-Hospital and Special Events Working Groups.
