In what is sure to be a heated race for a job with the least amount of official responsibility, Democrat Jari Askins became the first candidate, in either primary to go on the air.
Her ad which is a bio spot, highlights Askin’s judicial background “tough on crime” and highlights her groundbreaking status as the “first women elected to lead House Democrats.”
The ad is void of any controversial claims, but the mud is sure to fly as this race heats up.
Oklahoma Political News Service will continue to keep an eye on this race

Umm, I’m pretty sure Todd Hiett’s ads have been running for a while now.
But thank you for playing.

I believe it says she’s the first Democrat on TV: Askins first Dem on TV.
But thank you for reading.

Hmm. The story’s been edited. If you read the original version, you’d see where it said the first candidate in either primary.
