Tonight, I am deeply humbled and grateful to stand before you as your elected representative for Sapulpa’s 5th Ward.
First and foremost, I want to thank the entire Sapulpa community. Your trust, your support, and your belief in a better future for our city mean more to me than words can express. Whether you knocked on doors with me, put up a yard sign, shared a conversation over coffee, or simply offered a kind word — every single one of you played a part in this victory.
A special thank you goes out to every person who took the time to go out and vote. Democracy only works when good people show up, and you showed up. Your voice was heard loud and clear, and I promise to carry it with me every day I serve on the City Council.
This win is not about one person — it’s about all of us. Sapulpa is a strong, proud community with so much heart and potential. Now is the time for all of us to come together as one. Whether we voted the same way or not, we all share the same streets, the same schools, the same dreams for our families and our future. Let’s set aside any differences and work side by side to make Sapulpa even better — a place where every neighbor feels heard, every family feels safe, and every opportunity is within reach.
I am honored to serve you, and I will work hard every single day to earn the trust you’ve placed in me.
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. God bless you, and God bless the great city of Sapulpa.
— David Mortazavi
