Democrats have swept special elections for a state House vacancy from the Tulsa area and a state Senate vacancy from Oklahoma City, both vacated by Republicans who resigned.

In House District 75, which includes portions of east Tulsa and north Broken Arrow, unofficial results show voters picked Democrat Karen Gaddis over Republican Tressa Nunley on Tuesday. Both were vying to replace former Republican state Rep. Dan Kirby, who resigned this year after two former legislative assistants accused him of sexual harassment. Kirby has admitted he used poor judgment but denied harassing legislative aides.

In Senate District 44 in south Oklahoma City, voters selected Democrat Michael Brooks over Republican Joe Griffin. Brooks will replace ex-state Sen. Ralph Shortey, who is facing three felony counts alleging he solicited a 17-year-old boy for sex. Shortey is scheduled for a preliminary court appearance on July 25.

Apparently your favorite website Free Republic thinks the news is important enough to put on their front page.

I have, and think it's OK when you have that type turnover after corruption and that kind of activity in office. Hopefully it teaches the Repubs a lesson....

Democrats sweep 2 legislative special elections against candidates that are either facing felony charges or harassed their aids.

Hey! At least Stupid and crooked Oklahoma legislators are smarter than Louisiana legislators.

In OK they realized since they are the ones to make/change the laws, a lot of the time when they get caught they simply change the laws to legalize their wrong doings.

I remember hearing of 2 cases in the 90's a couple years apart where late night rural traffic stops yielded OK legislators either DUI or possession of drugs or stolen car or some such kinda stuff. Those pols went back and proposed law changes to end their troubles....and they were successful!

If I could remember names and stuff it would be worth looking up. Then again OK newspapers scrub their sites for the right kinda payoffs too.
