Mazzei calls out dark-money attack ad for lying on tax record

MIKE MAZZEI CALLS OUT DARK MONEY PAC FOR LYING IN ATTACK AD

Tulsa, OK (April 19, 2026) - Mike Mazzei, Republican candidate for Oklahoma Governor, is responding to an attack ad launched by a dark-money Political Action Committee [PAC] this week. The commercial falsely accuses Mazzei of opposing income tax cuts in 2016.

“No one fought harder for the taxpayers than I have,” Mike Mazzei said. “The ad is silly and gets the facts completely wrong. Our opponents see us surging in the polls and this is a desperate attempt to deceive the voters of Oklahoma. I am the only candidate in this race with a solid plan to phase out the income tax and eliminate property taxes for seniors and veterans.”

Among the highlights of Mazzei’s Senate record on taxes:

• Mazzei authored a major income tax cut
• Ended the $1.5 billion tax giveaway to the wind power industry
• Authored the Back-To-School Sales Tax Holiday

Mazzei’s former Senate colleagues are now speaking up to denounce this dark-money PAC ad.

“Mike Mazzei stood out as the Oklahoma Senate’s toughest budget hawk,” Congressman Josh Brecheen said in a statement today. “Mike worked every day to protect the taxpayers, cut wasteful spending, and demand accountability for every dime of taxpayer money.”

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.
