| Collapse all
Mitch resides with his wife and children in Newcastle, OK, where they attend Victory Family Church.
Mitch is committed to improving education, investing in infrastructure, lowering individual taxes, creating jobs, and promoting small business.- Regardless of your race, nationality, sexuality, religion, ideology, background, past, beliefs, identity, or gender, Mitchell Jacob loves you, accepts you, and welcomes you to District 20. You make Oklahoma Better.
- A better educated Oklahoma is good for everyone. We must ensure that we are raising educated children who can get a job and provide for themselves. Education attracts employers, generates tax revenue, and helps people escape the grip of poverty. Mitch supports a quality education for all.
- Mitchell Jacob stands for small business. Mitch proposes exempting new small businesses from paying corporate taxes until they either operate for five years or reach $500,000 in annual gross revenue. This will allow more Oklahomans to start their own business and can generate more tax revenue for Oklahoma while creating jobs.
Politics is not about being right. Politics is about a spectrum of beliefs and taking actions which account for a range of people, backgrounds, beliefs, ideologies, and competing interests. I believe that to truly represent the people, I must understand each of my constituents and act in a manner which furthers the interests of the community at large.
I believe that it is crucial that elected officials do the right thing, regardless of the ramifications. I do not believe in equivocations, blame-shifting, or lies. Integrity must come before political ambitions or goals.
I love the United States and would gladly lay down my life in her defense.
I do not resent my past. In fact, it is because of these experiences that I am the man I have become. All things considered, I am happy with my life experiences and how they have shaped me, though I have zero desire to re-live any of those experiences.
To say it another way, my job will be to represent House District 20, not appease the Oklahoma governor. I hope to work together and enrich Oklahoma, but will never sacrifice the interests of District 20 to curry favor with any elected official.
It is obvious that there are benefits to experienced legislators. It is equally obvious that the longer one serves as an elected official, the more entrenched they become in their office. Thus, I stand for citizen-electors and I approve Oklahoma's 12 year term limit for elected legislators.
I vow to work with legislators in Oklahoma, regardless of party or affiliation, to pass legislation that makes Oklahoma a better place.
2) VoteVets - I am not only a veteran, but a champion for veterans.
Further, as a father with five children attending public school in Oklahoma, I hope to sit on the House Common Education Committee. I believe in public education and want to dedicate my time to empowering educators, not making their jobs more difficult.
More than that, transparency is not a burden, though it may be a lot of work. A government which is not accountable to the people is tyrannical.
