Meet Dr. Max Burchett, Jr. — Practical Leadership for District 33

Dr. Max Burchett, Jr. is not a career politician. He is a pharmacist, a healthcare executive, a husband, a father, and a neighbor — and he is running for Oklahoma House District 33 because he believes the people of Logan and Payne County deserve a representative who knows how to get things done.

From Bartlesville to Guthrie — An Oklahoma Story

Max was born and raised in Bartlesville, Oklahoma — a small city that instilled in him a deep appreciation for community, hard work, and the value of public service. His roots are firmly Oklahoma, and his commitment to this state has only grown stronger over the years.

Since 2021, Max has called Guthrie home, putting down roots in District 33 and becoming invested in its future. He knows this community — its families, its small businesses, its schools, and its challenges — because he lives here too.

A Career Built on Serving Others

Max's professional career began as a pharmacist — a foundation that gave him a front-row seat to how healthcare policy either helps or fails real patients. He saw firsthand the barriers that keep people from getting the care they need: administrative red tape, misaligned incentives, access gaps in rural and underserved communities.

That experience drove him to move upstream — from the pharmacy counter to the executive suite. Today, Dr. Burchett serves as the Chief Information Officer of the largest Urban Native American Clinic in the United States, a role that demands not just technical expertise, but strategic leadership, operational discipline, and a genuine understanding of how complex systems affect vulnerable populations.

He manages systems that hundreds of thousands of people depend on every single day. When those systems fail, people feel it. That is the level of accountability he brings to everything he does — and the same standard he will bring to the Oklahoma State House.

Why He's Running

Max is running because he sees a gap that is costing Oklahoma families every day: too many policymakers have never actually managed a budget, run an organization, or implemented a program. They pass legislation without understanding how it will work on the ground. The result is policy that sounds good in a press release but fails in practice.

Max wants to bring something different to Oklahoma City: executive discipline, measurable outcomes, and the willingness to focus on what actually works rather than what scores political points. He is not interested in becoming a career politician. He is interested in expanding his sphere of impact from organizational leadership to public leadership — without abandoning operational rigor.

Family First

At home in Guthrie, Max is a husband and proud father of two. His 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter are a constant reminder of why this work matters — every decision made in the State House will shape the Oklahoma they grow up in. His husband, who spent most of his career in banking, is now pursuing his degree to become a registered nurse, a transition that reflects the same spirit of service and reinvention that defines the Burchett family.

Practical Leadership. Real Results.

Dr. Burchett's campaign is built on four pillars that reflect both his professional expertise and his commitment to District 33:

• Healthcare That Works — improving access and reducing barriers so every Oklahoman can get the care they need, informed by two decades of hands-on healthcare leadership.

• Strong Public Education — supporting schools that prepare students for the workforce and strengthen our communities for the long term.

• Growing the Local Economy — backing small businesses, working families, and the agriculture that is the backbone of Logan and Payne County.

• Accountable Government — bringing performance-driven oversight to state government, where metrics matter and results are measured, not just promised.

District 33 deserves a representative who has already proven they can lead complex organizations, deliver results under pressure, and put the people they serve first. That is exactly what Dr. Max Burchett, Jr. has done his entire career — and it is exactly what he will do in Oklahoma City.

"I manage systems people depend on every day. When those systems fail, people feel it — and that's the level of accountability I bring to public service." — Dr. Max Burchett, Jr.
