Jolley drops AG bid
“Accordingly, I have reached the decision to remain in the Senate representing my district and forego a run for attorney general at this time,” Jolley said.
Jolley is not up for re-election this year. He said he intends to seek a third and final four-year term in 2012. Legislators can serve a maximum of 12 years.
Jolley said he intends to return contributions given to his attorney general race. Some contributors have told him to keep the money and transfer it to his Senate re-election bid, he said.
His departure leaves Scott Pruitt, a former state senator from Broken Arrow, and Oklahoma City attorney Ryan Leonard as Republican contenders. Jim Priest, an Oklahoma City attorney, is the only Democratic contender.
Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a Democrat, is not seeking a fifth term to run for governor.

Drew Edmondson also, honored a Dr Singh who also, performed an abortion on my daughter at the age of 14, with out the knowledge of her parent. I read this on her medical records after her death. Its a sad day to realize that even a father would agree to murder his own grandchild…
I hope James Dunn does not run for any office! He represented my ex-husband in our guardianship case in District Court under Judge Brian Upp and they lied to the Judge saying my daughter Lacey Dawn Garrett died and she did not have any property in her name… She had two properties on the Oklahoma City, Ok Property Tax website on-line in her name at 9624 Allen Drive Okc 73139 and also, had just bought a second home from Frontier Bank on Penn located at 1612 S.W. 61st. My ex-husband also, had a prior conviction for Bank Fraud during the 90′s and the law says you cannot be given the guardianship of a child if you are a convicted felon!!! Judge Upp gave him the care of my daughters only child and I have not been able to see her or talk to her on the phone since my daughter Lacey died in 2004. I have contacted the IRS because he also has other properties in the name of his deceased fathers name to keep from paying Taxes on the properties… He is cheating his own granddaughter out of her inheritance the same way he cheated the Tipton Bank out of money by using deception of the system. Crooked Judges and Crooked lawyers in the Juvenile Justice System in Oklahoma…
