From NewsOK:
Broken Arrow businessman Scott Pruitt, managing partner and co-owner of the Oklahoma City RedHawks baseball team, is the Republican nominee for state Attorney General.
Pruitt led the Tuesday primary with 133,918 or 56 percent of the vote over Ryan Leonard’s 105,179 or 44 percent with 2,243 of 2,244 precincts reporting, according to the state Election Board.
Leonard, a former senior aide to Republican U.S. Sen. Don Nickles, out spent his opponent raising $917,484 to Pruitt’s $390,342. Pruitt said his campaign has spent all but $600.
“People are excited about this election cycle. They want to take ownership in the process and fight back against Washington,” Pruitt said at a Tulsa watch party. “People are awakened to the fact their individual freedoms are at risk and they know the attorney general can do something about that.”
