Maybe there’s something to those “Where’s Mike Mazzei?” posts circulating on social media.
Over the weekend, the pesky rascals at Oklahoma Watch took a look at Mike’s attendance – or lack thereof – as a voting member of the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement Board, a group that oversees the state’s nearly $4-billion police pension system.
According to their reporting, Mazzei was appointed to the position by Stitt in March 2023 but has missed 30 of the 40 monthly meetings held since then.
Via a Paul Monies report for Oklahoma Watch:
At a recent monthly meeting of the state’s police pension board, the only sign of GOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Mazzei was his nameplate in the corner of a meeting table.
Mazzei last attended a meeting in April 2025, right around the time he kicked off his campaign for governor.
His meeting absences go back farther. Since Gov. Kevin Stitt appointed Mazzei to the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement Board in March 2023, Mazzei has missed three-fourths of the meetings. He’s made just 10 of the 40 monthly meetings since joining the board.
That’s nice.
