Oklahoma House of Representatives

Maynard officially announced his campaign for the Oklahoma House of Representatives's 21st district in January 2022.[1] The race to succeed term-limited incumbent Dustin Roberts drew three other candidates: Penny James, Dustin Reid and Ryan Williams. He was endorsed by Americans for Prosperity.[3]

Maynard advanced to an August runoff election with Dustin Reid. His campaign focused on his Christianity and his certified public accountant credentials and he was endorsed by Representatives Jay Steagall and Gerrid Kendrix. Since no non-Republican candidates filed in the district, there was no November general election.[4] Maynard won election and was sworn in on November 16, 2022.[5]

In 2024, he voted against HB 3329 which still passed the house floor. It is intended to provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms.[6]
