U.S. Governor

The Resume

    (December 28, 1972- )
    Born in Milton, Florida
    Birth name was John Kevin Stitt
    Founder and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group (2000-2018)
    Governor of Oklahoma (assumed office January 14, 2019)
    First governor diagnosed with COVID-19 (July 15, 2020)
    Republican

Why he might be annoying:

    'Business Insider' listed Gateway as one if the 15 shadiest lenders in the government-backed mortgage industry (2009).
    He said, ‘We don’t do vaccinations on all of our children…. It’s got to be up to the parents, we can never mandate that.’
    When other state governors were responding to the COVID-19 epidemic by closing down restaurants, he posted a photo on Twitter of himself dining out with his family. (‘Eating with my kids and my fellow Oklahomans…. It’s packed tonight!’)
    His spokesperson declared, ‘The governor will continue to take his family out to dinner and to the grocery store without living in fear and encourages Oklahomans to do the same.’
    He attended a Donald Trump rally in Tulsa without wearing a facemask (June 20, 2020).
    He said he was ‘pretty shocked’ by his COVID-19 diagnosis (Yeah, how could that possibly have happened?)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a member of the Cherokee nation.
    He helped pay his way through college by selling educational material door-to-door for Southwest Advantage, becoming the first salesperson at the company to achieve top sales in their first year.
    Despite his anti-vax comments, he did not attempt to change the state’s mandatory vaccination laws.
    Two days after his Twitter post, he decided to declare a state of emergency in Oklahoma – and deleted his dining out tweet (March 16, 2020).
    Based on when he was diagnosed, he was probably not infecting people at the Trump rally.
