DALLAS, Texas – AFC Victory Fund today announced its endorsement of Republican nominee Mike Mazzei for Governor of Oklahoma, citing his commitment to empowering parents and protecting school choice for families across the state.
Mike Mazzei’s strong support for preserving the state’s Parental Choice Tax Credit illustrates his commitment to securing educational freedom for Oklahoma families. A businessman and former 12-year state senator who spent a decade as the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, later serving as the state’s Secretary of the Budget, Mazzei is crystal clear on the positive fiscal impact of school choice for the state, taxpayers, and families.
Statement from Tommy Schultz, CEO, AFC Victory Fund:
“Mike Mazzei understands that school choice is good for Oklahoma families and good for Oklahoma taxpayers. He knows parents should have a strong voice in directing their children’s education, and he is committed to protecting the choices families have today, including programs like the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit.
"While Mazzei’s opponent, Cyndi Munson, has prioritized ripping school choice away from the 42,012 children from low-income and working-class families who depend on it, Mike Mazzei has committed to protecting it. That’s all Oklahoma voters need to know when they head to the polls.
“Oklahoma has made tremendous progress on school choice, and Mike Mazzei is the kind of leader who will take that momentum and run with it. AFC Victory Fund is proud to endorse him for governor, and we look forward to working with him to ensure even more Oklahoma families can choose the education that best meets their children’s needs.”
