Aide to Tulsa Mayor GT Bynum resigns

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — The City of Tulsa's mayoral aide announced that he is resigning.

Jack Graham, an aide to Mayor GT Bynum, gave his resignation on June 20.

“Bynum needs to be surrounded by people — any leader needs to be surrounded by people — dedicated to supporting his work,” Graham said. “And I just can’t do that,” saidGraham.

Graham joined Bynum’s office in the summer of 2017 and joined his staff in 2019, said he felt “ineffective” and resigned over the handling of Trump’s campaign visit to the BOK Center.

“I felt like it was a significant time,” Graham said. “I don’t speak my own opinion; I represent G.T. And I wanted people to know I don’t agree. It was more of a stand for myself.”
