From Tulsa World:
One of Lt. Gov. Jari Askins’ most powerful campaign weapons — her personal checkbook — has been brought to bear in her effort to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
Reports filed late Monday with the state Ethics Commission show that Askins loaned her campaign $675,000 between June 16 and July 11.
The loans represent almost one-third of the $2.1 million raised by Askins during the course of her campaign.
In 2006, Askins put $880,000 of her own money into winning what was probably the most hotly contested lieutenant governor’s race in Oklahoma history.
