Councilor District 9
Councilor G.T. Bynum and his wife, Susan, are the proud parents
of Robert and Annabel - the sixth generation of Bynums to call
Tulsa home. Councilor Bynum is the founder and president of G.T.
Bynum Consulting, a federal government relations firm based in
Tulsa.
Prior to forming his own firm, Councilor Bynum worked on the
senior management team for Williams & Williams Worldwide Real
Estate Auction - one of the largest real estate auction companies
in the world. Before that, Councilor Bynum was employed at
the Tulsa Area Chapter of the American Red Cross where he kept
residents of Northeast Oklahoma updated on the Red Cross response
to the January 2007 ice storms, which at the time was the largest
sheltering operation in Tulsa Red Cross history.
Councilor Bynum also spent six years in public service working in
the United States Senate for Senators Don Nickles and Tom Coburn.
He assisted Senator Nickles in the development and maintenance of
the Kerr-McClellan Navigational System, which leads to the Tulsa
Port of Catoosa, and he helped in the federal clean-up efforts
related to the Tar Creek Superfund Site - the nation's largest
toxic waste site. Councilor Bynum also worked on the staff of
Senator Tom Coburn when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. He
represented Senator Coburn in the creation of legislation with
Democratic Senator Barack Obama to establish a single oversight
entity for the response.
Councilor Bynum feels strongly about giving back to our community,
and has done so through service on the boards of directors for the
Tulsa Historical Society and Leadership Tulsa. He views these as
opportunities to learn from and honor Tulsa's past while developing
the leaders of Tulsa's future. He is a member of the Rotary Club of
Tulsa and earned his Eagle Scout designation in high school as a
member of Troop 73.
