Bynum thanked his wife, Susan, and before thanking his children. Then, he thanked his grandfather, Bob LaFortune, who was a mayor of Tulsa from 1970-78.

"He has been my standard as a person, and I'm so thankful that now I get to work as a mayor and go to him and have him be my standard for that as well," Bynum said.

Bynum will take over as city of Tulsa mayor in December.

Regalado, Berry headed to November sheriff's race

Incumbent Vic Regalado will win the Republican primary in the Tulsa County sheriff's election.

"I promise to continue to do the best job possible and not bring shame to the office," Regalado said in a victory speech at the Tulsa Press Club watch party.

He will face Democrat Rex Berry, who also won his primary race Tuesday night. The November election will be a rematch of a race that Regalado won by a wide margin in a special election in April.
