MIKE MAZZEI TURNS TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPH IN NEW MEDIA CAMPAIGN

Tulsa, OK (February 23, 2026) — Mike Mazzei, Republican candidate for Oklahoma Governor, is launching a new campaign ad across TV and streaming platforms statewide. In the ad, Mazzei shares details of his tough journey to regain his strength after a near-fatal car crash.

“Oklahoma’s state motto is Work Conquers All Things. I am living proof of that,” Mike Mazzei said. “My recovery was slow and difficult, often painful, but I never stopped working and moving forward. I wasn’t about to let a little thing like a broken back and 30 surgeries hold me down.”

This will mark the fifth consecutive week of statewide TV ads from the Mazzei for Governor campaign. Recent polling shows, since the initial launch of his media blitz in January, Mazzei has jumped to second place in the GOP primary.

“We don’t always get to choose our battles -- sometimes the battles choose us,” said Mazzei. “After my accident and broken back, it was hard work, determination, and my deeply-held faith in God that carried me through and made me stronger than ever. That same resolve drives me to fight for a stronger Oklahoma — cutting taxes, stopping China from buying our farmland, and protecting the unborn. That’s why I’m running for Governor.”

Mike Mazzei served 12 years in the Oklahoma State Senate and two years as Oklahoma Secretary of Budget. He is the Founder of Trinity Strategic Wealth, a financial planning firm with more than $1.6 billion in assets under management.
