District attorney confirms investigation into governor's ad

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma County’s top prosecutor confirmed Thursday he’s investigating whether a recent campaign ad by Gov. Kevin Stitt violates state law and ethics rules.

David Prater said he launched an investigation after a bipartisan group of House legislators suggested the 30-second ad, titled “ Track Record," violates state law.

“I consider this a serious matter," Prater said in a statement to The Associated Press. “I will respect the lawmakers' request and investigate to determine if evidence exists to prove a violation of Oklahoma criminal statute."

Stitt's relationship with the Legislature, particularly House Republicans, has grown tense in recent months, especially after he vetoed key pieces of the budget agreement reached between the House and Senate.
