House Candidate Sued By Former Manager

The Oklahoman's Nolan Clay reports today that a candidate for the State House, Democrat Michael Walker of Midwest City, is being sued by his former campaign manager.

Walker is accused of shaking and choking campaign consultant Teresa Hill during a campaign meeting in July. Hill says Walker first threatened her and says she was bruised and her eyeglasses were broken. She also claims Walker lied to her about his past and says he owes her $10,250.

Hill claims Walker recently resigned from John Marshall High School before he was terminated for "inappropriate behavior" with students. Walker denies that.

Walker calls the lawsuit "frivolous" and says Hill is making things up because he fired her. Walker faces Republican Rep. Charlie Joyner for the House District 95 seat in the November general election.
