Through the events I was able to give $26,000 to Soldiers Wish to be able to grant wishes to our local American Heroes. The events also produced $4100 to be donated to the Pride of Broken Arrow, as well as, generated the highest sales days of the year for the merchants which has had a positive increase in the sales tax revenues created in the Rose District for our city. These ideas and passion for our community are what I am looking forward to bringing to the BA City Council.<\/p>\n<p>Please help spread the importance of going to the polls on April 4th so we can put new energy in our council! #TeamWimpee #VoteWimpeeApril4th<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/FriendsofDebraWImpee\">Click to contribute to the Campaign!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you Explore Tulsa\u200b!
