Oklahoma platform cheatsheet

It is no secret that voting, as well as elections in general in Oklahoma, are not well attended. A report from the University of Florida found that this state had the second lowest voter turnout during the 2024 general election, with Hawaii hosting the lowest. To help voters go into Tuesday’s election informed, The Collegian has decided to provide a cheatsheet describing the platforms of the top two candidates for some of the major elections in the state. Mike Mazzei, Governor (R): The Republican candidate for governor previously served in the Oklahoma senate from 2004 to 2016, and was secretary of budget from 2019 to 2020. According to his campaign website, Mazzei plans to eliminate property taxes for seniors and veterans, as well as make Oklahoma a no-income-tax state. The website further describes the candidate’s commitment to “end wokeism in higher education” and create a Department of Government Efficiency for the state.
