Hiett had to appear before the state Board of Agriculture to get the quarantine lifted.[2]Representing the 29th House District, Hiett served in the Oklahoma House from 1995 to 2007, quickly becoming the House Minority Leader in 2002.[3] After the Republicans took control of the House in 2005, Hiett was elected Speaker, the first Republican to serve in over eighty years. Hiett is only the second Republican to hold that position.[4] The first was George B. Schwabe, who served from 1921-23.Hiett entered the Republican primary election to replace outgoing Republican Mary Fallin as Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma.  In the primaries on July 25, 2006, Hiett faced Nancy Riley and Scott Pruitt. Riley received 23% of the vote, Pruitt received 34%, and Hiett received 43%.[5] Hiett, according to Oklahoma state law, had to face Pruitt in a runoff, with the winner receiving the party’s nomination.Following the run-off election on August 22, 2006, Hiett received 66,217 votes and 50.92% as opposed to Pruitt’s 63,812 votes and 49.08%.[6] Hiett was the Republican nominee for Lt. Governor, but he lost to Democratic House Minority Leader Jari Askins in the November general election.[7]Electoral history[edit]Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Republican Primary Election, 1994PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett1,19059.41RepublicanKevin Farmer81340.59Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 1994PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett5,13153.72DemocraticDavid Thompson (incumbent)4,42046.28Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 1996PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett (incumbent)6,60457.52DemocraticDavid Thompson4,87842.48Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 1998PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett (incumbent)5,25158.20DemocraticEdmond Tex Slyman3,77141.80Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 2000PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett (incumbent)n\/a100.00Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 2002PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett (incumbent)n\/a100.00Oklahoma House of Representatives 29th District Election, 2004PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett (incumbent)9,00663.63DemocraticJim Thompson5,14836.37Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Republican Primary Election, 2006PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett76,63442.82RepublicanScott Pruitt60,36733.73RepublicanNancy Riley41,98423.46Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Republican Primary Runoff Election, 2006PartyCandidateVotes%RepublicanTodd Hiett66,22050.92RepublicanScott Pruitt63,81749.08Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Election, 2006PartyCandidateVotes%DemocraticJari Askins463,75350.14RepublicanTodd Hiett439,41847.51IndependentE.
