Mike Reynolds served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 91st district between 2002 and 2014.[1] He lost the Cleveland County Commission District 3 Republican runoff primary to Harold Haralson in 2014.[2]

In early August 2023, he filled an application with the Oklahoma Supreme Court to call a special election alleging state law required Ryan Martinez to be removed from office after he entered a plea bargain for driving under the influence. On August 16, Governor Kevin Stitt joined the suit in favor of Martinez's removal and announced his intention to hold a special election.[3] On August 18, Martinez announced that he would resign from office effective September 1, 2023.[4]
