Steve Kunzweiler has launched his campaign to seek another term as Tulsa County District Attorney. Kunzweiler has served as a prosecutor for more than 30 years and has led the office for the past decade.
“I was elected to do the job of finding truth and seeking justice for every member of our community, and I intend to keep Tulsa County safe for our children and grandchildren,” Kunzweiler said.
During his tenure, Kunzweiler established a Victim Witness Center and launched a therapy court dog program to support children involved in cases. He also partnered with the Child Advocacy Network to strengthen services for young victims.
Kunzweiler points to several major prosecutions and policy efforts during his time in office, including the successful prosecution of David Ware for the murder of Tulsa Police Sgt. Craig Johnston and his support for the Craig Johnston Act at the Oklahoma Legislature. He also supported legislation such as SB 607 to protect victims of abuse.
Kunzweiler served on the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Task Force and has maintained support for Oklahoma’s “Stand Your Ground” and “Castle Doctrine” self-defense provisions.
Kunzweiler said improving Oklahoma’s mental health system remains one of his core commitments. He described mental health reform as essential to both justice and public safety in Tulsa County.
