AMERICA AND OKLAHOMA FIRST

“I’m all in on the fight for liberty and putting America and Oklahomans First. It’s imperative that we have conservative leadership to support infrastructure, push back against economy-crushing inflation and protect our traditional Oklahoma way of life.”

— Mark Lepak

ACCOMPLISHED BUSINESSMAN

Mark built a 37-year career as a telecommunications executive during an era of sweeping technology changes. He worked hard and advanced, eventually leading teams up to 800 people and responsible for billions of dollars in payroll and assets. Mark is adept at managing change and handling crises. He carries a lifetime of varied work experiences to the state Capitol, including cattle and crops on the family farm, electrical work at a potash mine, and work as both a roustabout and a roughneck for offshore drilling operations in the Gulf, all before graduating with an engineering physics degree. 

HUSBAND, FATHER & GRANDFATHER

Mark’s proudest accomplishment is his strong, successful family. He and his wife, Linda, an attorney, have been married 43 years. They raised five children, each a law school graduate with a successful career and growing family. The Lepaks all graduated from public schools, which is another reason Mark continues to support education. Mark also enjoys spending time with his 14 grandchildren.

CONSERVATIVE FIGHTER

Mark’s experience on the Claremore City Council, Moore School Board and in the Oklahoma State House, coupled with his career in telecommunications, gives him a thorough perspective on how legislation and regulation impact our jobs, communities and schools. As our state representative, he has leveraged that experience into gains for Oklahoma, fighting for and protecting our conservative values.

Specific accomplishments to date include:

• Banned CRT from being taught in our public schools
• Passed legislation to protect Oklahoma from Biden’s continued federal overreach, giving the attorney general more resources to fight back
• Prevented biological males from competing in women’s high school and college sports
• Lowered taxes for all Oklahomans
• Supported the right to life by requiring physicians to inform patients that a medically-induced abortion may be reversible, and by banning mail order abortions in Oklahoma
• Added RICO charges to our criminal code for those who organize riots
• Protected Oklahoma’s elections from rogue officials and outside influences
• Protected the privacy of charitable contributions
• Limited the impact of vaccination mandates
• Passed a campus free speech bill prompted by threats to students espousing conservative views, earning Mark an invitation to the Trump White House to discuss First Amendment rights on college campuses
• Expanded support services for the blind and deaf
• Proposed a new plan to eliminate income taxes without reducing state revenues and the priorities they fund
• Proposed protections for oil and gas in Oklahoma from rogue officials agreeing to greenhouse gas compacts
• Proposed a more competitive framework for the delivery of emergency health care
