State statements
Taxes No. 01/12
Oklahoma should phase out its personal income tax.
Background Oklahoma taxes personal income with a top rate that lawmakers recently lowered. Phasing it out would end the tax over several years and require other revenue or spending changes.

I also don't agree that cutting the state's income tax, only benefiting the wealthiest Oklahomans, would help with the growing need for housing in Oklahoma.

Education No. 02/12
Oklahoma should stop giving tax credits for private school tuition.
Background Since 2024, Oklahoma has given families refundable tax credits to help pay private school tuition, with a yearly cap on the total. Ending the credits would stop that support and keep the money in the state budget.

$275M would be transformative for our public schools, but instead, those millions in public tax dollars are going to families who do not need it.

Abortion No. 03/12
Oklahoma should allow abortion in cases of rape or incest.
Background Oklahoma bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy except to save the life of the pregnant patient. This would add exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest.
Mike opposes abortion in all circumstances. His record proves it, and as Governor, he will lead with that same conviction.

Health care No. 04/12
Oklahoma should keep Medicaid coverage for low-income adults added by the 2020 expansion.
Background Oklahoma voters approved expanding Medicaid to more low-income adults in 2020, and hundreds of thousands have enrolled. Keeping it means continuing coverage as federal funding rules change.

Economy No. 05/12

Foreign policy No. 06/12
Oklahoma should ban companies tied to foreign adversary governments from owning land in the state.
Background Oklahoma law already restricts some land ownership by people and businesses without legal status or ties to foreign governments. A ban would bar any purchase by companies linked to governments the U.S. names as foreign adversaries.
Prohibit foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies from owning Oklahoma land
Campaign or official site · Sep 24, 2026 · retrieved Sep 24, 2026

Immigration No. 07/12

Taxes No. 08/12
Oklahoma should end property taxes on homes owned by seniors or veterans.
Background Oklahoma freezes assessed values for some lower-income seniors and fully exempts homes of veterans with total disabilities. Ending the tax for all seniors or veterans would cut revenue for schools, counties and other local services.
Property taxes keep rising even when incomes do not. Mike believes no Oklahoman should be taxed out of their home simply for staying put.

Energy and climate No. 09/12
Oklahoma should pause construction of new large data centers.
Background Several large data centers are planned in Oklahoma, raising questions about electricity rates, water use and tax incentives. A pause would halt new projects while the state sets rules on those issues.
Data centers are welcome in Oklahoma, but they must pay their own way. No special tax breaks, no cash giveaways, and no shifting electricity or water costs onto Oklahoma families.

Education No. 10/12

Economy No. 11/12
Oklahoma should stop offering special tax incentives to attract large out-of-state companies.
Background Oklahoma offers large incentive packages, such as rebates and tax credits, to recruit major employers. Ending them would save state money but could make Oklahoma less competitive for new plants.

Immigration No. 12/12
Oklahoma should keep its agreement letting state troopers help enforce federal immigration law.
Background In 2025 Oklahoma signed an agreement with federal immigration authorities that lets trained state troopers question and detain people over immigration status. Keeping it continues that state role in federal enforcement.
No sanctuary cities in Oklahoma, declared or otherwise. Statewide cooperation with ICE, mandatory E-Verify for employers and landlords, and no taxpayer-funded resources for those here unlawfully.
