Hooten [Republican] said he will remain on the ballot for Oklahoma State Treasurer.
Last month, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office opened a criminal investigation into recordings of Oklahoma County clerk David Hooten. According to a 15-page report, the investigation expanded to include alleged campaign ethics violations.
"The actions of Mr. Hooten in the workplace are not appropriate and have caused great concern and anxiety for the affected employees," the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office report said in part.
The scope of the Sheriff’s Office investigation into Hooten expanded to include allegedly hiring campaign staffers on the county payroll.
