A lot of campaigns are built on slogans. This one is built on a plan. I’m not running for governor to become a celebrity politician. I’m running because Oklahoma is sitting on unlimited potential, and frankly, we’ve had too many leaders manage decline instead of fight for excellence. We can stop wasting taxpayer money. We can give parents more control in education. We can create the kind of economy where our kids don’t feel like they have to leave Oklahoma to succeed. That’s not radical. That’s common sense. Appreciate News On 6 for the conversation as we head into the final stretch before Election Day. Watch the interview here: newson6.com/politics/guberna…

Thank you, @TeamTrump. Oklahoma is ready to lead again with conservative principles, real accountability, and a serious plan for the future. We’ve worked hard for every bit of momentum in this race, and we’re not slowing down now. Let’s go win this on June 16. 🇺🇸

This campaign was never about politics. It was about whether Oklahoma would settle for decline… or fight for something greater. Over the last 18 months, people across this state chose to believe again. That Oklahoma’s best days are still ahead. That strong leadership still matters. That government can still serve the people instead of itself. And now, together, we’re about to prove it. June 16th. Let’s finish this.

The political establishment didn’t see this coming. As early voting begins, we’ve now crossed 30% in our latest internal polling, and the momentum is growing every single day. Why? Because Oklahomans are tired of politicians who campaign as conservatives and govern like bureaucrats. They’re tired of rising costs, weak leadership, and a state government that has lost its way. We’re running to change that. We believe Oklahoma can become a no income tax state. We believe seniors and veterans deserve property tax relief. We believe Oklahoma land belongs to Oklahomans, not foreign adversaries. And we believe our kids deserve schools focused on results, discipline, and excellence again. This campaign is about reclaiming Oklahoma’s potential. Early voting starts Thursday. Let’s go win this thing.

Newsweek just released a new report showing our campaign in the clear lead heading into the final week of this race. And our own internal polling now shows us over 30%. The momentum is real because Oklahomans are ready for leadership with a real plan. Not bigger government. Not political games. This campaign is about common sense conservative leadership that delivers results. Eliminating the state income tax. Abolishing property taxes for seniors and veterans. Protecting Oklahoma land from foreign ownership. Restoring excellence in education. Cutting wasteful government spending. Creating opportunity for the next generation. One week left. Now we finish strong. Talk to your friends. Talk to your family. And most importantly, vote. Let’s reclaim Oklahoma’s potential.

Oklahoma deserves to be stronger, safer, and more prosperous than it is right now. We need conservative leadership with a real plan. My plan cuts property taxes, eliminates the state income tax, bans Chinese ownership of Oklahoma farmland, and fights to bring jobs and opportunity back to our state. I’m proud to have President Trump’s endorsement because he knows we’re ready to fight for Oklahoma’s future, not settle for more of the same. We won’t compromise our values. We won’t back down from the political establishment. And we won’t let Oklahoma fall behind while other states surge ahead. It’s going to take grit, hard work, and a governor with the courage to actually lead. Let’s reclaim Oklahoma’s potential together.

In the last week, several have reached out to me regarding my statement on the proposed aluminum plant in Inola. I wanted to provide further details on my decision-making process regarding this project. President Trump personally called me about this project because America has not opened a new aluminum plant in over 50 years. Aluminum is critical to our ability to defend ourselves as U.S. aircraft and other military components are dependent upon it. My father is a Vietnam veteran. My brother served in Bosnia; my nephew is an Army Black Hawk pilot; and my other nephew served in Syria. My family and most Oklahomans understand what it takes to secure our nation as Oklahoma is home to five military bases, and we are essential to the U.S. aerospace industry. As I have told Oklahomans time and time again, I support the President's agenda, and that includes what he is doing to keep us safe and bring jobs back to the U.S. from overseas. My opposition to this project in the past was never focused on the national security front or reshoring manufacturing capabilities. Rather, I did have some questions regarding the state incentives passed in 2025 by the state legislature. I was not in the legislature when the financial incentive package was put together. My concerns voiced in the past were about the structure of the financial deal. I was never opposed to President Trump's goal of building this plant in Oklahoma. Over the last few months I have learned significant details about the project and the overall economic upside which should result in a good return on investment for the taxpayers. Here are the details I have learned to date from the Trump Administration and others familiar with this project: • China controls nearly 60% of the world's aluminum production which puts our military's weapons supply chain at risk. • The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is investing well over $4 billion into this project. • This will create tremendous economic activity in Oklahoma and the US. • There will be a limited number of people coming from the UAE to bring the expertise necessary to get this facility started and functioning. The vast majority of the promised jobs will be filled by Oklahomans. • The UAE is a strong ally of the United States and a key member of the Abraham Accords. Even though the UAE based company (EGA) will have a 60% ownership stake in Oklahoma Primary Aluminum (OPA), Century Aluminum (CA) from Chicago owns the other 40% of the venture. • The ultimate benefit to Oklahomans will be the massive economic growth that foreign companies such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan and BMW have brought to other states. • The joint venture partnership of OPA will own the property. The OPA is a U.S. based company and will hold the deed to the property, not EGA. • Massive upgrades to the rails and canals through and around the Port of Inola are already in progress. • The city of Inola, whose wastewater treatment plant is in serious decline, will be able to eventually divert all wastewater to the new facilities wastewater treatment saving the city of Inola the costly burden of replacing their aging wastewater treatment infrastructure. • The 1,000 jobs necessary to operate the plant should also create another 9000 jobs in the surrounding communities to supply and support OPA. An April report in the Wall Street Journal indicates these jobs are already coming to fruition. • With this project Oklahoma will become a very important part of the Trump Agenda to re-shore mission critical manufacturing to the USA. • H1B visas (highly skilled and specialized positions) will apply to OPA staff with the technical skills and know-how to spin-up this plant in a part of the country unfamiliar with aluminum production. The H1Bs will be a very small percentage of the workforce. Oklahomans will fill the hundreds of jobs needed to operate the plant on a regular basis. • The UAE is not a fundamentalist state and their government views radical groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood as an existential threat to its stability. • The UAE has banned the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. • The UAE even discourages education abroad to the United Kingdom due to the UK's tolerance of various student groups, Islamic societies, and political activists linked to the Brotherhood. In light of these facts, I now believe this project will benefit the people of Inola and also serve the national interest. As governor, I am also committed to a solution that ensures environmental protection for our farms, ranches and livestock, and we are investigating multiple levels of systems to do that. As most of you know, I have definitively stated that we will not let Sharia law take root in the state of Oklahoma. I have publicly indicated that we will quickly ban Sharia law, designate the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council of American Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations, and mandate law enforcement training to identify Sharia influenced violence and abuse of women and children. Be assured, that I will ensure that as we protect our nation in supplying this critical national security need, we will also protect Oklahomans who live and raise their families here. To our men and women in uniform, thank you. We will do our part to ensure you have the materials needed for a safe return home.

Biden donor Gentner Drummond is getting desperate. It’s sad, really. His latest Super PAC against me calling me “woke” is completely preposterous. President Trump endorsed me because he knows I’ll stand up to the trans lobby and protect girls sports. Let’s keep up the fight here in Oklahoma and go win this thing!

Great visit with the team at Durant Family Medicine Clinic today. Oklahoma is stronger because of people like these physicians, residents, and staff who show up every day to care for their communities. Thankful for the conversation, the hospitality, and the commitment they have to serving Southeastern Oklahoma.

Oklahoma has unlimited potential. But right now, too many families feel like government has lost its way. On FlashPoint Army, I talked about why I’m running for governor, how we can eliminate the state income tax, protect Oklahoma land from foreign ownership, fix our education system, and bring real accountability back to government. I also shared part of my personal story and the lessons I learned through one of the hardest seasons of my life. I believe people are hungry for leadership that has conviction, common sense, and the courage to actually fix problems instead of managing decline. We can build a stronger Oklahoma for our kids and grandkids. But we have to act now. My interview begins at 9:18 and runs through 15:15. Watch here: youtube.com/live/E38cBjlNClY…

The momentum is real. President Trump’s endorsement was never about headlines. It was about leadership. It was about strength. It was about having the courage to actually challenge the status quo instead of becoming part of it. Now Oklahoma is paying attention. This campaign is connecting because people are hungry for serious leadership, real solutions, and a governor who understands how to grow a state instead of simply managing decline. Oklahomans are smart. They know when someone is authentic. They know when someone has actually built something. And they know when someone is willing to fight for Oklahoma’s future with conviction and common sense. The path forward is clear. And we’re going to win.

The Tulsa Public Schools audit came out 15 months ago. It uncovered rampant mismanagement and more than $75 million spent on illegal DEI initiatives while students fell behind. The Legislature banned DEI. TPS kept pushing it anyway. And after all the evidence, all the headlines, and all the outrage, how many prosecutions has the Attorney General filed? Zero. That’s not accountability. That’s weakness. President Trump endorsed me because Oklahoma needs strong conservative leadership that will actually confront these problems instead of ignoring them. As governor, I’ll bring accountability back to education, move school board elections to November, and force school board candidates to declare political party affiliation so parents know exactly who they’re voting for.

Let me clear something up. I was not talking about Oklahoma teachers as a whole. I was talking about some superintendents and teacher unions that have pushed political and educational agendas many Oklahoma families disagree with. During a fast-moving debate, where you’re trying to answer a lot in a short amount of time, I left out the word “unions” during one portion of my answer, and that created confusion. Oklahoma teachers are among the most dedicated public servants in our state. Teachers are not the problem. A broken system is. Right now, only about 20% of Oklahoma students can read proficiently. That is unacceptable. We owe our teachers better support and our kids better results. That’s why my education plan focuses on: • Paying teachers competitive salaries • Restoring phonics-based reading instruction • Providing more literacy support and reading coaches • Restoring classroom discipline so teachers can teach • Increasing accountability and transparency in school leadership President Trump endorsed me because he knows Oklahoma needs strong conservative leadership focused on results, accountability, and putting our children’s future first. We need less political noise in education and more focus on helping kids succeed. We believe in excellence. And Oklahoma’s children deserve it.

Oklahoma is getting left behind. We’re losing energy companies to Texas. Tennessee’s economy is growing dramatically faster than ours. And while other conservative states are creating opportunity, Oklahoma is still standing still. President Trump endorsed me because I am the only candidate with a real plan to make Oklahoma a no income tax state. In year one, I’ll ask the legislature to cut the state income tax from 4.5% to 3% as part one of a three-part plan to eliminate it completely. That means more growth. More jobs. More opportunity for our kids and grandkids. It’s time to stop thinking small. We either get on board, or we get left behind. Working with President Trump, we’ll get it done.

President Trump was right. Oklahoma doesn’t need another career politician making promises they can’t keep. We need conservative leadership that understands how to grow an economy, create jobs, cut taxes, and actually fix broken government. That’s exactly what I’ve done my entire career. I’ve spent my life building businesses, balancing budgets, fighting wasteful spending, and delivering real results for Oklahoma taxpayers. I helped save taxpayers billions in the State Senate, and I have a clear plan to make Oklahoma stronger, safer, and more prosperous. President Trump understands what’s at stake in this election, and I’m honored to have his complete and total endorsement. Now it’s time to put common sense conservative leadership back in charge of Oklahoma.

I married a teacher, and I have two nieces preparing to become teachers themselves. Through them, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment educators bring into Oklahoma classrooms every single day. Teachers do far more than teach. They help shape the character, confidence, and future of our children. That’s why, as Oklahoma’s next governor, I will fight to ensure teachers have the respect, resources, support, and classroom environment they deserve. But let’s also be honest about something: Too many school systems have lost focus on what matters most...helping children succeed. When only a small percentage of students are reading proficiently, the status quo is failing our kids, failing parents, and failing teachers. We need common sense reforms that actually work. That means: • Returning to phonics-based reading instruction • Giving teachers stronger classroom discipline support • Funding reading coaches and literacy resources • Increasing transparency between schools and parents • Promoting teaching as the worthy and noble profession it is Teachers should be able to focus on teaching. Students should be able to focus on learning. Parents should know exactly what’s happening in the classroom. We can support teachers AND demand better results. Oklahoma deserves both.

I am officially endorsing Mike Mazzei (@MazzeiMike) in the Oklahoma Republican Primary for Governor to become the 29th Governor of the Free State of Oklahoma. Let me tell you why you should consider voting for Mike Mazzei on June 16th. Mike Mazzei has what I believe is the strongest and most detailed plan in the race. His campaign is focused on lowering taxes, protecting Oklahoma land, improving education, and strengthening Oklahoma’s workforce. On Taxes, Mike Supports: 1. Eliminating the Oklahoma state income tax. 2. Abolishing property taxes for seniors and veterans. 3. Cutting taxes on retirement income and tips. On Protecting Oklahoma Land: 1. Prohibiting foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies from owning Oklahoma land. 2. Closing loopholes that allow shell companies to conceal foreign ownership. 3. Requiring full transparency and disclosure of beneficial ownership for major land acquisitions. On Education, Mike Supports: 1. Giving teachers the authority to remove disruptive students from the classroom. 2. Hiring statewide reading coaches to improve student achievement. 3. Ensuring tax dollars reach classrooms instead of being spent on excessive bureaucracy. 4. Making sure parents know exactly what their children are being taught. 5. Moving school board elections to the November statewide ballot and requiring partisan identification for candidates. 6. Prioritizing reading proficiency by the third grade. On Jobs and Workforce Development, Mike Supports: 1. Expanding apprenticeships, trade pathways, and CareerTech programs. 2. Promoting K-12 education that emphasizes practical, career-focused skills. 3. Investing in skilled trade education to prepare Oklahomans for high-demand jobs. Here are some Executive Orders he will sign 1. Eliminate corporate welfare for green energy boondoggles. 2. Ban the use of human waste (biosolids) as fertilizer on Oklahoma farmland. 3. Close the unconstitutional loophole that allows illegal aliens to buy Oklahoma land. In debates, Mike has called for bringing the Ten Commandments back to the State Capitol. He went to Oral Roberts University, he was the only candidate not to post those stupid hunting photos. He has a good smile. He was the only candidate who mentioned God in his ads. To me, he was the most like President Calvin Coolidge. He is a good, honest, humble man. Oklahoma runs on Mike Mazzei! For these reasons, Mike Mazzei has my complete and total endorsement in this race.

Today, President Trump gave me his Complete and Total Endorsement for Governor of Oklahoma. I am deeply honored by his confidence and grateful for his friendship and support. President Trump understands what’s at stake. Oklahoma needs a proven conservative who knows how to grow jobs, cut taxes, protect our freedoms, defend our land, and stand up to the political establishment when it gets in the way of common sense. This campaign has always been about Oklahoma, our families, our values, and our future. Today's endorsement is a tremendous honor, and the mission remains the same. Now it's time to work even harder. Let's win this race, reclaim Oklahoma's potential, and build a stronger future for the next generation. -Mike Mazzei #MAGA #Oklahoma #MikeMazzei #OKGov
