Peter J. Rudy (KTOK Capitol Reporter) to Join Oklahomans for Responsible Government

Oklahomans for Responsible Government is pleased to announce that KTOK State Capitol reporter Peter J. Rudy has been hired to serve as Communications Director for the organization effective Monday, February 23rd.

"Peter has been covering Oklahoma's state government for more than two years and will be a valuable asset to our staff," said Brian Downs, Executive Director of OFRG. "Peter has seen the government process up close. His relationships with lawmakers and the capitol media will help OFRG communicate our message of transparency, accountability and responsibility in government to the public."

Rudy has been in radio news for 12 years in Arizona, Iowa, California and Oklahoma. He came to KTOK in July of 2006 and has been covering the State Capitol since the start of the legislative session in 2007.

"I love going to work at the State Capitol every day and explaining how what goes on there affects the lives of the listeners," said Rudy. "Now I will be able to take that to another level by using new technology to reach more people who are still interested in how their tax dollars are being spent."
