Where they stand
In their own words, from their campaign website, summarised in plain English.
Economy and cost of living
Mazzei says he wants to create more high-paying jobs by cutting unnecessary tax preference items, trimming regulations and licensing hurdles, and expanding job training and apprenticeships. He also says he would end corporate incentives that give poor returns and pair every tax cut with a spending cut or offset.
“Every tax cut is paired with a spending reform or offset”
Taxes and government spending
Mazzei says he would eliminate property tax for seniors 65 and older and for veterans, without raising income tax, by controlling county spending and growing the economy. He also says he wants lower income taxes and a Department of Government Efficiency to review every agency and cut waste.
“Eliminate property tax without raising income tax, without reckless spending, and without shifting the burden onto working families.”

Energy and climate
Mazzei says he would end property tax breaks for green energy and data centers. He also says he would stop the Commissioners of the Land Office from selling Oklahoma land for green energy projects.
Guns
No stated position on their website.
Crime and policing
Mazzei says he would cut violent crime by going after criminal networks tied to illegal marijuana grow operations on rural land. He says he would require ownership disclosure, audits, and penalties including forced sale of land, and give the state power to enforce when counties fail to act.
“Property rights do not include the right to operate criminal enterprises.”
Education
Mazzei says he would focus on reading proficiency by third grade, give parents more transparency and involvement, and expand career and technical education. He says he would pay teachers the highest in the region, tie higher pay to performance, and move school board elections to November with party labels.
“Pay teachers tops in the region”
Foreign policy and defense
Mazzei says he would ban foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies from owning Oklahoma land. He would also close shell-company loopholes and require full disclosure of who owns large land purchases.
“Prohibit foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies from owning Oklahoma land”
Elections and ethics in government
Mazzei says he would require performance audits by law, set up an independent review board with taxpayer representation, and make agency results public. He also says programs would expire unless re-approved on merit.
