Biography

edit

Mark Lepak has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 9th district since 2014.[1][2] He was re-elected by default in 2020.[3]

He was one of twenty early Oklahoma lawmakers who endorsed Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential election.[4] In December 2023, Senator Julie Daniels and Lepak filed a "resolution to affirm support of Israel and to condemn Hamas". Lepak called Hamas a terrorist organization. The Jewish Federation of Greater Oklahoma City representatives expressed gratitude for the filing of the resolution.[5][6]

His son, Benjamin Lepak, was appointed as the Oklahoma Secretary of State in 2025.[7][8]
