Campaign themes

2011

Treat's 2011 special election campaign site list several key policy positions and campaign themes:

"The Greg Treat Plan:"

• "Real Reform to fight against ever-increasing property taxes."

• "Creating the most business-friendly environment in Oklahoma. We must make sure Edmond and Oklahoma City remain the best place to expand, locate or relocate a business."

• "Fighting back against any federal encroachment into powers reserved in the US Constitution for the State Government, or the People."

• "Preserving and encouraging free-market principles in the delivery of our health care system. I oppose the federal takeover of our health care system."

• "Protecting the sanctity of life and improving our foster care system as an alternative to abortion."

• "Creating measurable objectives to gauge the effectiveness of government programs. This will help us to find the programs that are working and eliminate wasteful or unnecessary programs."

• "Implementing incentives to encourage state agencies to cut spending."

• "Improving education by empowering classroom teachers to teach their subject matter – not just to teach solely for testing."

• "Reducing government spending. It is not prudent to increase the size and scope of government simply because of a temporary increase in state revenues."

• "Fight, at every turn, against government taking a more active role in raising our children. Government is not the solution – all too often it is the problem."

• "Above all, as your state senator I will support conservative, fiscally-responsible policies at the Capitol that will ensure our state is the best place to live, work and raise a family!"
