Meet Mark Tedford
Proven Leadership. Real Experience.
Mark Tedford is a Christian husband, father, and grandfather who has spent more than 30 years in business on Main Street, not in politics.
He built and ran companies, created jobs, and answered for the results. Now he's running for Congress to bring that same accountability to Washington and deliver for Oklahoma families.
Watch: Mark's letter to his grandchild
HUSBAND. DAD. GRANDFATHER.
Mark and his wife, Kristin, have been married since 1992 and have raised their four children in the Tulsa area.
For decades he has worked alongside local leaders to support small businesses and strengthen Oklahoma communities.
Today, Mark serves as Vice Chairman of Soldier's Wish, which supports veterans and their families, and on the board of Home Church in Broken Arrow.
BUILT ON MAIN STREET
For more than 30 years, Mark has built and run businesses in Tulsa, in insurance and construction, creating jobs and meeting a payroll in good years and lean ones.
He spent his career solving problems, balancing budgets, and signing the front of paychecks, not climbing the political ladder.
Mark is running for Congress to put that experience to work rebuilding American industry, cutting wasteful spending, and making Washington work for working families again.
A RECORD OF RESULTS
In the statehouse, Mark helped pass the largest tax cut in Oklahoma history, cracked down on illegal immigration, and took on his own industry to pass a Homeowner Bill of Rights that put Oklahoma families ahead of the special interests.
In Congress, he'll bring that same results-first approach to lowering costs for working families, cutting waste and fraud in Washington, and bringing good jobs back home.
A Conservative Agenda for Oklahoma’s First District
RESTORE THE AMERICAN DREAM
AMERICA FIRST. MAIN STREET STRONG.

"President Trump’s America First movement put the focus back on the people who work hard, raise families, and power this country. But Washington bureaucrats still reward the wrong priorities. I’m running to help build an America First economy that works for the people who fund it." - Mark

LOWER COSTS
FOR WORKING FAMILIES
Families are paying more for groceries, energy, housing, and everyday necessities while Congress spends taxpayer dollars like it belongs to them instead of the people who earned it. I’ll fight for lower costs and policies that help families and small businesses get ahead again.
-
Reduce inflationary spending
-
Cut red tape for small businesses
-
Lower energy and regulatory costs
-
Restore fiscal discipline
-
Protect working families and taxpayers
ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAW
PUT AMERICANS FIRST
Every nation has the right to secure its borders, enforce its laws, and put its citizens first. Strong immigration enforcement protects American communities, preserves our national identity, and strengthens the rule of law. Citizens must come first in their own country.
-
Strict enforcement of immigration laws
-
End all benefits for illegal immigrants
-
Support deportation of criminal aliens
-
Put American workers and citizens first
-
Preserve our strong national identity
STOP WASTE, FRAUD,
AND GOVERNMENT ABUSE
Washington loses hundreds of billions every year to waste and fraud while taxpayers are expected to carry the burden. I believe government should answer to the people funding it and be held accountable for every dollar it spends.
-
Eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse
-
Strengthen oversight and accountability
-
Increase transparency in federal spending
-
Protect Social Security for Americans
-
Safeguard taxpayer dollars
REBUILD THE REAL ECONOMY
BUY AND HIRE AMERICAN
America needs to start building and producing again. I’ll fight for American energy, manufacturing, skilled trades, and policies that reward productivity over dependency. Strong nations depend on strong industries, good-paying jobs, and leaders who understand the real economy.
-
Unleash American energy production
-
Cut taxes and increase take-home pay
-
Grow manufacturing and skilled trades
-
Support job creators and economic growth
-
Reduce dependence on foreign resources
DEFEND FAITH, FAMILY,
AND FREEDOM
Strong families, shared values, and individual freedoms are the foundation of a strong country. I’ll defend our constitutional rights, parental rights, religious liberty, and the conservative values that hold our nation and community together.
-
Protect the unborn
-
Defend the Second Amendment
-
Stand for parental rights
-
Protect religious liberty
-
Honor and support veterans
SERIOUS LEADERSHIP.
REAL RESULTS.
For more than 30 years, I’ve created jobs, balanced budgets, and met payroll, not built a political brand. At the State Capitol, I helped pass the largest tax cut in state history, stronger immigration enforcement, and conservative reforms that held government accountable.
Washington has become disconnected from the people who build businesses, create jobs, and keep the economy moving. I’m running to bring serious leadership, accountability, and real-world experience to Congress.
