Fallin's Husband Quits Law Firm

Governor Mary Fallin's husband, Wade Christensen, said Friday he branched out on his own because clients for his previous law firm, Day, Edwards, Propester & Christensen, included the University of Oklahoma and CompSource Oklahoma, the state's workers' compensation agency.

Christensen said he wants to avoid anyone claiming favoritism or the appearance of a conflict of interest.

“Basically, I decided that in order to avoid any conflict ... I felt that this was the best and safest way to avoid any appearance of impropriety and any impropriety at all,” Christensen said.
