There will be a new face on the Board of County Commissioners this November.
Sally Bell easily defeated incumbent Randi Miller Tuesday night in the race for the Republican ticket in the Tulsa County Commissioner's race.
With all 98 precincts reporting, Bell garnered 81 percent of the vote.
Bell is a newcomer to the political arena, but her name is synonymous with a Tulsa County Fairgrounds staple, Bell's Amusement Park.
Many believe this race was more personal than political because Miller was part of the commission that forced Bell's off the fairgrounds last year.
But, Bell says that was not the reason she was running.
"My first issue is really to open up government," Bell says. "Government has been closed to the citizens for too long."
Miller had her seat on on the board of county commissioners for six years.

KTUL can say they were the only station to get Randi Miller?s reaction to the election results on election night, but then again they were the only station to come to her defense during the campaign ? Must be that Westside connection.
Perhaps she will go back to feuding with the McCoys over that cemetery and we can begin cleaning up our county government.
