Councilor District 5
Chris
Trail and his wife, Sarah, have been married 15 years. They have
three children, Will Gunnar, 7, Hayden, 3, and Ella Grace, 2. One
of the primary reasons Chris ran for the Tulsa City Council was
because he wants his kids to have a community worthy of their
pride. He wants to ensure they have a safe, prosperous and
beautiful place where they can live, work and raise families of
their own someday.
Chris currently operates a successful family business, Ike's
Chili, which is the oldest existing restaurant in Oklahoma. Since
1908, the Trail family has been serving Tulsans from all walks of
life. Every day Chris has the opportunity to visit with diverse
customers, giving him a clear picture of what Tulsans envision for
our city's future.
Chris is a fourth generation Tulsan. He graduated from Berryhill
High School and attended Northeastern Oklahoma A & M College.
Chris and his wife are members of First Baptist Tulsa, and his wife
Sarah works there in childrens ministries two days a week. Chris
wants what is best for Tulsa - secure families in beautiful
neighborhoods, thriving businesses and a bustling downtown.
