Cyndi Munson (D-OKC)

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, released the following statement regarding ongoing investigations of alleged misconduct by Rep. Ajay Pittman, D-Oklahoma City.

“While we maintain that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, the allegations regarding Rep. Ajay Pittman are severe enough that action was warranted. The House Democratic Caucus has voted to temporarily suspend Rep. Ajay Pittman from House Democratic Caucus membership and activities pending the outcome of an investigation from the Attorney General alleging misconduct. The Oklahoma House Democratic Caucus also recommends to the Speaker of the House that Rep. Ajay Pittman be suspended temporarily from all assigned House committees, also pending the investigation being conducted by the Attorney General. Unless there is another development, we do not plan to comment further on any ongoing investigations into Rep. Ajay Pittman. The House Democratic Caucus remains committed to accountability and transparency for all elected officials and we will continue to focus on serving all constituents and solving problems for everyday Oklahomans.”
