Oklahoma Secretary of State M. Susan Savage considers her service as Tulsa’s only woman and longest-serving mayor among her most significant professional achievements.

As mayor, she was responsible for a $500 million budget, 4,000 employees and a scope of policy matters including libraries, water quality, parks, solid waste, airports and museums. During the 10 years she served, Tulsa had unprecedented job growth, neighborhood revitalization, public safety improvements and government efficiencies.
