1953

Jari Askins (born April 27, 1953) is an American judge, lawyer and Democratic politician from the US state of Oklahoma.

Askins was born on April 27, 1953, in Duncan, Oklahoma.

1971

She graduated from Duncan High School in 1971.

She then attended the University of Oklahoma to receive a Bachelor of Arts in journalism in 1975.

While at OU, she was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

1980

Askins received a Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1980.

After graduating from OU, she entered into private practice.

1982

In 1982, Askins was appointed Special District Judge of Stephens County, Oklahoma.

She served from 1982 to 1990, winning reelection in 1986.

Under the administration of Governor of Oklahoma David Walters, Askins entered the executive branch of government.

1991

She was the Chair of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board from 1991 to 1992, serving as the Board's first female chair.

1992

Askins served as Deputy General Counsel to Governor Walters from 1992 to 1994.

1994

Her last assignment under Governor Walters was as the executive director of the Pardon and Parole Board from February to November 1994.

1995

Before Governor Walters was succeeded by Republican Frank Keating, Askins ran, and was elected to, the Oklahoma House of Representatives, beginning her term in 1995.

Hiett sought to maintain Republican control of the office, which had been held by then-incumbent Mary Fallin, since 1995.

Askins campaigned in part on her experience in state government, with roles in all three branches of Oklahoma government: legislative (state representative), executive (Chair of the Pardon and Parole Board), and judicial (Special District Judge).

2005

During her final term (2005–2006), she was elected and served as Democratic House Minority Leader, the first woman to lead a caucus in the state's legislature.

After reaching the mandatory legislative term limit of 12 years, Askins filed in the Democratic primary election to replace outgoing Republican Mary Fallin as Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma.

In the primaries, Askins faced former State Senate President Pro Tempore Cal Hobson, lobbyist Pete Regan, and Jim Rogers.

Askins received the highest share of votes of the four candidates (40.2%), and advanced to the Democratic primary runoff, competing against Pete Regan.

2006

In the run-off election on August 22, 2006, Askins defeated Regan, thus gaining the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.

Her general election opponents included Republican Speaker of the House Todd Hiett, and E.Z. Million, an independent candidate from Norman.

Askins defeated Hiett and Million in the general election on November 7, 2006, becoming the first Democratic female (and second overall) to be elected lieutenant governor in Oklahoma.

Askins' predecessor in the lieutenant governorship, Mary Fallin resigned from office on December 28, 2006, to be sworn in to her term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Effective January 2, 2007, Fallin's resignation allowed then-Governor Brad Henry to appoint Askins (who was at that point the lieutenant governor-elect) to serve the final week of Fallin's term.

2007

At the conclusion of that term, on January 8, 2007, Askins then formally started her own full term of office.

As lieutenant governor, Askins served on various boards and commissions, including chairing the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Commission and the Oklahoma Film and Music Advisory Commission.

Governor Brad Henry also named her as "Oklahoma's Small Business Advocate".

She was the first candidate to declare an intention to run.

2010

Askins won the Oklahoma Democratic Party's 2010 gubernatorial nomination by defeating Attorney General Drew Edmondson.

She was defeated in the general election by Republican Congresswoman Mary Fallin.

Askins, in her role as President of the Oklahoma State Senate presided over a legislative session held in Guthrie, Oklahoma's capitol at the time of statehood.

As announced on July 27, 2010, Jari Askins won the Democratic primary against then-Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson and was on the November ballot for governor, facing Republican candidate Mary Fallin.

The Askins vs. Fallin race and the simultaneous Diane Denish vs. Susana Martinez race in New Mexico were the third and fourth cases of woman vs. woman gubernatorial races in U.S. history.

The two Oklahoma candidates participated in a single lieutenant governor's debate on October 19, 2010.

Fallin won the election, becoming Oklahoma's first female governor.

Askins only carried four counties, including her home county of Stephens County.
