The election for Tulsa's mayor is more than a year out but we saw one candidate, Bill Christiansen, jump into the race earlier this week and current Mayor Dewey told KRMG he'd liked to run again.

A political expert told KRMG he believed former Mayor Kathy Taylor could be a possible candidate and has been positioning herself for a run.

Kathy Taylor just returned to Tulsa from her semester fellowship at Harvard University.

She seemed relaxed and was in a joking mood when KRMG got her on the phone to ask about running again for mayor, “I might run for Oklahoma City mayor, as I said, if I thought that could get me Thunder tickets if Mick Cornett retired but, you know, that's the only real definite thought I have had.”

All joking aside, Taylor says she believes in service and has applied for an open position on the Tulsa Transit Board, a position which is appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the city council.

She didn’t give a definite yes or no answer to the question about running for mayor again but she also says she doesn’t know what’s next for her.

Taylor tells KRMG she’s had a busy couple of years from her time as mayor, to handling the state's bid for the 'Race to the Top' grant and then her fellowship at Harvard University.

"I don't have any plans other than practicing law and spending time with my family but when opportunities present themselves, I'm a person that says, you know, you pursue it. So, we will just see what opportunities happen,” says Taylor.
