Democratic Leader Julia Kirt comments on ongoing ethics investigation of State Rep. Ajay Pittman

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt made the following statement regarding the Oklahoma Ethics Commission lawsuit against Rep. Ajay Pittman.

“The allegations against Rep. Ajay Pittman are very serious. I fully condemn these actions if proven. Elected officials, regardless of their political party, should be held to the highest standard. Clear corruption allegations among government officials break the public's trust in us and in our ability to work for them. I support law enforcement investigations on these serious allegations. We must all do better to hold ourselves accountable and avoid even the appearance of corruption so we can put people over politics,” said Sen. Julia Kirt, D-Oklahoma City.
