Thursday, August 24, 2006 Disappointed Pruitt Vows Support For Hiett In General Election
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-- State Senator Scott Pruitt today vowed to support House Speaker Todd Hiett in the race for lieutenant governor.
Pruitt says he's disappointed about losing the Republican runoff for the seat to Hiett by a mere 24-hundred votes last night. But he's vowing to support the G-O-P nominee and says he may seek another political office in the future.
Pruitt -- of Broken Arrow -- gave up the Senate seat he has held for eight years to run for lieutenant governor.
Hiett will face state House Minority Leader Jari Askins of Duncan, winner of the Democratic runoff for lieutenant governor, and independent E-Z Million in the November 7th general election.
Hiett says Pruitt performed well in Tulsa County and that his support is important to his campaign.
