Oklahoma Second Amendment Association Endorses Mike Mazzei

Tulsa, OK (July 22nd) — Today, the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association announced their endorsement of conservative Republican Mike Mazzei for Governor.

“The Oklahoma Second Amendment Association Board of Directors has by a majority vote ENDORSED Mike Mazzei for Governor,” said Chairman Tom Vineyard. “Mike Mazzei has returned an OKA "A" Candidate Survey and participated at our OKA Candidate Forum for governor. He had a proven conservative voting record while he was in the Oklahoma legislature. We ask voters to support Mike Mazzei for the next governor to protect and return Second Amendment rights, and secure the liberties we so value.”

“I am proud to be endorsed by the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association as the Trump-endorsed, conservative candidate in this race,” said Mike Mazzei. “The Second Amendment is a constitutional right, not a government permission slip. As governor, I will firmly stand against every attempt to weaken our Second Amendment rights.”

The following are statements of support from elected officials.

State Rep. Mark Lepak:

"I've known Mike Mazzei for a long time — long before we ever served together at the Capitol.  Tax and fiscal policy has been my focus for my entire time in office, so I know exactly how rare it is to find someone who truly understands it and has the backbone to act. Mike is that someone. In our respective roles over the years, we've worked on the hardest budget questions this state faces. He does his homework, he tells you the truth, and he keeps his word. Mike's plan to eliminate the income tax isn't campaign talk — it's the natural extension of a career spent fighting to let Oklahoma families and job creators keep their hard-earned money, while delivering fiscally responsible levels of state spending. The word ‘fiduciary’ actually means something to this man.  I've spent years working to make our tax code simpler and fairer, and I can tell you Mike Mazzei is the leader who will actually get it done. I trust him, I respect him, and I'm proud to give him my wholehearted endorsement."

State Sen. Brian Guthrie:

"As a small business owner, former mayor, and now a State Senator, I’ve worked with a lot of leaders — and Mike Mazzei is one of the few who truly understands both how government works and how the private sector creates jobs. Mike doesn’t just talk about conservative principles; he has a proven record of fighting for lower taxes and limited government. His plan to eliminate Oklahoma’s income tax will let families keep more of what they earn and make our state more competitive. I’ve known Mike for years, and he’s motivated by making Oklahoma better, not by politics. He’s the right leader at the right time, and I’m proud to give him my full endorsement for Governor."

State Rep. Danny Williams:

"I've spent my career fighting for Oklahoma's kids and families, and that's why Mike Mazzei's plan matters to me.  His commitment to childhood literacy means more of our children learn to read and get a real shot at the future they deserve, and his tax relief lets working families and seniors keep more of what they earn.  Mike has a plan built around the people I represent, and he has my proud endorsement."

 State Sen. Randy Grellner:

"As a rural doctor, I've spent decades taking care of Oklahoma's farmers, seniors, and working families -- so I know what Mike Mazzei's plan means for them. Property tax relief lets the seniors I've cared for stay in the homes, eliminating the income tax keeps more money in our rural communities, and protecting Oklahoma soil from Communist China safeguards the farms and food supply we all depend on. Mike has a plan for the folks I serve, and he has my total endorsement."

 State Sen. Jerry Alvord:

"I am proud to announce my support of Mike Mazzei for Oklahoma Governor. Over many conversations, I am confident that Mike Mazzei recognizes that farming, ranching, and the state's equine industry are not only part of Oklahoma's heritage but also essential drivers of its current, and future, economy. Mike Mazzei is truly a leader with a real plan for Oklahoma families: strengthening rural communities, supporting agricultural producers, protecting private property rights, and a keen comprehension of how policies can work cohesively to promote energy production while stewarding natural resources, ensuring agriculture remains a cornerstone of Oklahoma's prosperity for generations to come."

Adair County Commissioner Larry Wood: 

“As the Adair County Commissioner for District #3, I am proud to endorse Mike Mazzei for Governor of Oklahoma. Mike understands how important poultry producers are to our local economy and to rural Oklahoma. He supports the farmers, growers, and agribusinesses that keep our communities strong and provide good jobs across eastern Oklahoma. I believe Mike Mazzei will be a governor who listens to rural counties, supports agriculture, and works to create a better future for Oklahoma families.”  

Adair County Commissioner Allan Star: 

“As the Adair County Commissioner for District #2, I am proud to endorse Mike Mazzei for Governor of Oklahoma.  Mike Mazzei has been a strong advocate for Oklahoma's poultry producers, ranchers, and the hardworking people of rural Eastern Oklahoma. His commitment to conservative leadership, fiscal responsibility, and policies that put Oklahoma families, businesses, and rural communities first makes him the right choice to lead our state. As a county commissioner, I understand the importance of having a governor who listens to local officials, supports county government, invests in infrastructure, and works to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. I believe Mike Mazzei understands these priorities and will be a strong advocate for all 77 counties. Oklahoma needs a leader who will improve our roads and bridges, support agriculture, protect the interests of our poultry producers and ranchers, and preserve the values that make our state strong. I am confident Mike Mazzei will provide that leadership. I encourage the citizens of Oklahoma to join me in supporting Mike Mazzei for Governor.”
