Dewey F. Bartlett, Jr. (born March 16, 1947) is the mayor[2] of Tulsa, Oklahoma. An oil industry executive and political figure in Tulsa, Bartlett was the Republican nominee for mayor of Tulsa in the 2009 election, and was elected as Tulsa's 39th Mayor on November 10, 2009.[3]

Bartlett's father, Dewey F. Bartlett, was Oklahoma's second Republican governor from 1969 to 1971, and a United States Senator from 1973 to 1979.[4] The younger Bartlett attended Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, then received a B.S. in accounting from Regis University and an M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University.[5][6][7][8] He is the President of the Keener Oil & Gas Company, the successor to a family business previously run by his father,[7][9] and the chairman of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board[10] and the National Stripper Well Association.[11]

Bartlett served on the Tulsa City Council from 1990 to 1994, and ran unsuccessfully for mayor in a 1992 special election. He was also a member of the board of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.[9] In 2004 he ran against former state health secretary Tom Adelson for Oklahoma Senate district 33, losing by less than 1,000 votes.[12][13] In 2009 he ran for mayor of Tulsa.[14] On September 8, 2009, Bartlett won 54% of the Republican primary vote, setting him up for another match against Adelson (who received 94% of the vote in the Democratic primary) and two independents in the November general election.[15] In the November 10 general election, Bartlett received about 45% of the vote, to 36% for Adelson and 18% for independent Mark Perkins. Bartlett took office on December 7, 2009.[16]

In May 2011, the Tulsa city auditor of Tulsa issued a report stating that Bartlett had violated two sections of the city's ethics rules by accepting free legal advice from a lawyer who had also represented the city.[17] Bartlett and his lawyer have disputed this finding.[18]
