OKLAHOMA CITY –Sen.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Four members of the Democratic Caucus who represent various districts in the Oklahoma City metro were sworn into office Wednesday. Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell presided over the ceremony while the oaths of office were administered by Oklahoma Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Darby.

OKLAHOMA CITY –Sen. Julia Kirt will hold an interim study on Oct. 24 focused on Oklahoma’s laws for ethics and accountability for elected officials.

“Ensuring public servants are held to the highest standards of conduct is essential if government officials are to earn and maintain the public’s trust,” Kirt said. “Oklahoma has had some spectacular breaches of public trust over the past few years. I believe that we can expose bad actors and support quality leaders by improving our ethics systems.”
