Friends,
As my first year as Oklahoma’s Attorney General comes to a close, I am so thankful to my supporters and constituents who have made it possible to be in the position I am.
I have led numerous efforts to file legal challenges against the overreach and power of Washington D.C. into the lives of Oklahomans and Oklahoma businesses.
On the law enforcement front, my office has filed multiple indictments to combat corruption and fraud in the areas of consumer and workers’ compensation fraud and public corruption.
One issue that is extremely important to me was the formation of our Internet Crimes Against Children Unit. This special investigative unit assists the OSBI in investigating and arresting those who would use and peddle child pornography.
As part of keeping one of my primary commitments during the campaign, I formed a special federalism unit dedicated to the purity of constitutional balance of power, enforcing the plain meaning of the founders' directive that the federal government be one of specific and enumerated powers, and conversely preserving to Oklahoma and its citizens reserved powers, all with an aim of preserving individual liberty. The Office of Federalism is under the direction and leadership of my Solicitor General, who constantly monitors the actions of the federal government and works as my top appellant litigator.
These are just a few of the many issues and battles my office engages each day on your behalf. Again, I am proud to serve as Attorney General and wish you and your family all the best during this season of celebrating Faith and special time with family.
Warm Regards,
Scott Pruitt
Oklahoma Attorney General
