Larry Mizel, executive chairman at Mativ Holdings, has been active in Jewish and pro-Israel philanthropy and political advocacy. In May 2025, he received an award from United Hatzalah, the Israeli volunteer emergency medical service, at a Yom Ha’atzmaut event in Jerusalem. Mizel praised the organization’s response to the October 7 attacks, saying the work “has been beyond spectacular” and “has meant a lot to all of us, not only here but to humanity for the lives that you saved.” In July 2025, he spoke at a 65th reunion of his high school graduation class in Tulsa, Oklahoma, expressing gratitude to the class and to George Kaiser for the Gathering Place park. Mizel has also been a prominent figure in the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC). In December 2024, he discussed the importance of evaluating candidates based on their values rather than party labels, noting that he came from Oklahoma where Democrats were “conservative Democrats.” He stated that he would support whichever candidate is elected to represent the Republican Party. In October 2023, Mizel presented the RJC’s Defender of Israel Award to Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and two daughters were killed in a terrorist attack. Mizel described Israel as “at war with a barbaric and brutal enemy” and said the RJC stands with the Israeli military forces fighting to protect the country.
“As I'm sitting here, I'm listening to the birds chirping and I'm looking at these beautiful trees and I think how fortunate we are to be here at this wonderful place.”
“I want to thank George Kaiser and his family and the supporters that made the gathering place something really special.”
“I'm also most appreciative of many of our graduates that made the effort to be here this evening; after all, it's only been 65 years, and the effort everyone had to make an effort, whether they lived in Tulsa or some other place in the country.”
“And I'm looking forward to our 70th, and God willing I'm going to be here and we're going to have a great time.”
“Someone said well maybe we should bring our children or our grandchildren to our 70th so we're going to take that up for further discussion.”
“We've seen the wonderful organization and the great work, and on October 7th the response has been beyond spectacular; I compliment you and all of your volunteers. It has meant a lot to all of us, not only here but to humanity for the lives that you saved.”
“Israel is at war with a barbaric and brutal enemy, a terrorist organization that murdered more than a thousand of our brothers and sisters in Israel, wounded thousands more and snatched innocent men, women and children from their homes to use as hostages.”
“We stand with Rabbi D and with the people of Israel and with Israeli military forces who are fighting to protect them; may God grant them success and end the threat of terrorist violence against Israel and all the Jewish people very soon.”
“The most special thing of today is the candidates came to present to the Republican Jewish Coalition where they believe that RJC is important and that each and every one of them came and communicated with us about the issues that mean so much to the Jewish people and to the United States.”
“We are both Jews and Americans and the issues that connect Israel, the United States and the Jewish people have never been closer — and as they said, never again.”
“Every one of the presidential candidates that presented today were all 100% supportive of Israel and the Jewish people.”
“The issue of anti-Semitism was dealt with — everyone commented that it has never been this bad and it is something that in this country we can't take our freedoms for granted; we will have to make extra efforts to educate especially the younger kids, and we've seen mostly the college kids acting up.”
“Jewish Americans now have an even greater concern of the Islamic anti-Semitism, the leftist anti-Semitism that's acting out in public on TV and intimidating and even inspiring violence against Jews.”
“We as Jews, as Americans, can no longer be naive to the fact that anti-Semitism is still out there — it needs to be dealt with and we need to go to work to deal with it.”
“We're here today to help in the process of selecting a president for the United States of America — and I'm supportive of whichever candidate is elected to represent the Republican Party; that's who I'm going to support.”
