Kevin Stitt Biography

Kevin Stitt is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 28, 1972 in Milton, Milton, United States. John Kevin Stitt (born December 28, 1972) is an American businessman and politician serving as the 28th Governor of Oklahoma since January 2019. He founded and is a former chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. A Republican, he was elected governor in 2018, defeating Democratic nominee and former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson. Stitt grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in accounting. He and his wife Sarah have six children. A member of the Cherokee Nation, Stitt is the second Native American to serve as governor of Oklahoma after Johnston Murray.

During the gubernatorial campaign, Oklahoma Watch reported that Gateway was fined by Wisconsin regulators for a “clerical error” regarding the firm’s history with regulators from other states. Gateway corrected the application and was issued a license in 2009 and continues to be in good standing with the state of Wisconsin today.

Beginning with the adoption of State Question 780 by Oklahoma voters in 2016, advocates for criminal justice reform sought additional measures. SQ780, which changed the classification of simple drug possession crimes from felony to misdemeanor and increased the cap for property crimes to be considered felonies, had already reduced the rate of felony prosecution statewide by 26 percent by 2018. In May 2019, Stitt proposed several ideas, including making SQ780’s sentencing standards retroactive, prohibiting criminal records from being considered for professional licensing, and restructuring the funding scheme for the various district attorney offices. While the Legislature did make SQ780 retroactive by allowing parole for those convicted before SQ780 became effective and reforming professional licensing, the Legislature failed to approve bills relating to which would reform Oklahoma’s cash bail system. In response to legislative defeats, Stitt issued an executive order to form a study group to make recommendations for future criminal justice reform for consideration during the 2020 Legislative session, with particular emphasis on reducing Oklahoma’s incarceration rate.

In July 2017, Stitt announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor in 2018. He ran a 77 county campaign with campaign stops in nearly every city and town, against nine other candidates in the primary election, placing second in that race and defeating, among others, Lt. Governor Todd Lamb. In the August 28 primary runoff, Stitt defeated Mick Cornett, a former Mayor of Oklahoma City, to win the nomination. Stitt defeated Democrat former Attorney General Drew Edmondson and Libertarian Chris Powell in the general election in November 2018.

Stitt worked in the financial services sector before starting Gateway in 2000. According to a profile of Stitt by Bloomberg News, he founded the company and was president and CEO until January 2014 when he became chairman-CEO. On the campaign trail, Stitt says that he started Gateway in 2000 with “$1,000 and a computer.” Stitt’s first obstacle was to get approved as a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) lender, but the company needed a net worth of $50,000. To achieve this amount, Stitt put forward the equity in his home to grow Gateway. In 2002, Gateway secured its first warehouse line, began obtaining licensing in other states besides Oklahoma, and started recruiting loan officers. By 2006, Gateway had over 400 employees.

Oklahoma has a long history with capital punishment, having conducted the third highest number of executions since re-legalization following Gregg v. Georgia in 1976. However, beginning in 2015, a moratorium was placed on all state executions following the botched execution of Clayton Lockett in April 2014 and the execution of Charles Warner by unauthorized methods in January 2015. A state criminal grand jury subsequently concluded in 2016 that state corrections officials failed to follow the law with Warner’s execution and should have exercised greater caution given the backdrop of Lockett’s execution. In 2018, the Oklahoma Attorney General Michael J. Hunter announced the state would seek to use inert gas asphyxiation by nitrogen for execution if suitable drugs for lethal injection were not found once the moratorium was lifted.

Stitt married Sarah Hazen in 1998 and they have six children. Stitt and his wife are active in their church in Tulsa, Woodlake Church.

In 2010, the federal government adopted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Under pre-PPACA levels, Oklahoma covered non-disabled adults without children with incomes at or below approxiatemly 37% of the FPL. The Act mandated that Oklahoma expand its Medicaid program, known as SoonerCare and administered by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, to cover nearly all adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL). However, in 2012, the United States Supreme Court ruled in NFIB v. Sebelius that the mandate was unconstitutional, thus allowing Oklahoma to continue at its pre-PPACA eligibility levels. Following the decision, former Governor Mary Fallin rejected the option to expand. After taking office, Stitt continued Oklahoma’s opposition to expansion. Stitt’s refusal to expand the program resulted in the filing of an citizens’ initiative petition, known as State Question 802, to enact the expansion into the Oklahoma Constitution notwithstanding Stitt’s opposition.

Before taking office, Stitt nominated former state Representative Michael Rogers as his Oklahoma Secretary of State and Tulsa Deputy Mayor Michael Junk (a former advisor to U.S. Senators Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn) as his chief of staff. Stitt nominated Kenneth Wagner (a former senior advisor to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt) to serve as Oklahoma Secretary of Energy and Environment. and Blayne Arthur (a former deputy secretary for the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry) to be Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture. Stitt retained several Fallin administration officials in office, including Major General Michael C. Thompson as Adjutant General of Oklahoma and as Rusty Rhoades as Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, respectively. In December 2018, Stitt announced that he would restructure the cabinet, eliminating the Secretary of Finance position and replacing it with three new positions splitting the former duties of the office: a Secretary of Budget, a Secretary of Agency Accountability, and a Secretary of Digital Transformation and Administration. Stitt nominated former longtime State Senator Mike Mazzei as Budget Secretary.

In 2009, Gateway was listed in a Business Insider article as one of the fifteen shadiest lenders in the government-backed mortgage industry. According to the article, the company originated nearly twice as many bad mortgages as its competitors. An article published by the Oklahoman newspaper on August 19, 2018, highlighted the inaccuracies of the Business Insider article, reporting that “in the Illinois case, a consent order states that the Illinois banking agency investigated a Gateway loan originator for an ‘alleged real estate, appraisal, and mortgage fraud scheme.’ Gateway fired the employee, asked for a hearing and then agreed to what investigators found. Gateway agreed to a $10,000 fine…Stitt campaign spokeswoman Donelle Harder said the license in Illinois was never revoked. The state agreed after the appeal not to revoke the license, she said.”

The employees were terminated and Gateway paid a $2,000 fine. The state overturned the lifetime ban on Gateway, effective November 2017. Gateway is able to do business in all 50 states.

At the end of December 2019, a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma was announced by the Choctaw, Cherokee, and Chickasaw tribes to attempt to end the dispute over gambling compacts.
