About Larry Mizel
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.
