From The Dolan Company:

For Scott Pruitt, the race for attorney general is all about freedom.

Pruitt, a former Republican state senator, has focused his race for the state’s top attorney on fighting the administration of President Barack Obama and protecting Oklahomans from what Pruitt describes as an oppressive federal government.

Democrat Jim Priest has a different approach.

Priest, an Oklahoma City attorney, compares his campaign to the longest job interview of his life. He said the most important aspect of the campaign is choosing an attorney general who is competent and professional.

The differences between the two men are bold and stark.

Pruitt, a co-owner of the Oklahoma City RedHawks baseball team, first ran for the state Senate in 1998.

During his first term, Pruitt sought the Republican nomination for Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District after former professional football player Steve Largent retired. Defeated in the attempt, Pruitt was re-elected without opposition in 2002.
