A Democrat Oklahoma state representative is resigning after she got caught trying to pay the Ethics Commission with a forged check. Rep. Ajay Pittman, whose district includes part of Oklahoma City, announced her resignation Wednesday after pleading guilty to a felony charge related to the forged check. The Democrat had previously agreed to pay $12,000 in restitution and a fine over similar accusations in 2020 and 2022. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said that part of the sentence for Pittman included her resigning from her office. Drummond said that she forged a check to the Oklahoma Ethics Commission to avoid paying back funds to her campaign account.
