2016
Jack's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
Education
- Excerpt: "Every parent and student should have multiple options how and where they receive education. Bob supports local control of curriculum and standards, and rejects any meddling by the federal government in Oklahoma education standards. He also knows that the 'business' of public schools should be effective and efficient, and a thorough review at all levels is needed to ensure accountability. School districts must strive to increase percentage of expenditures directed at classroom instruction."
- Excerpt: "Oklahoma is underfunding teacher pay, and Bob believes that must change over time. Bob believes teacher pay should be addressed in the same manner roads and bridges were address, a commitment to a long term program. He aims to make our state the education employer of choice."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Healthcare in the country is changing in large part to the Federal Government & the 2010 Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). Oklahoma wisely elected not to accept federal Medicaid dollars. In future years that would have proven costly to the state. Bob believe the state must pursue reforms to improve the current Medicaid program. The state should work to fund shortfalls for rural hospitals or nursing homes."
Tax and fiscal policy
- Excerpt: "To quote Senator Tom Coburn, 'The tax code is longer than the Bible, but without the good news.' Oklahoma needs meaningful tax reform. The complexity of the code, loopholes, deductions, exemptions, credits and exclusions must be addressed in upcoming legislative sessions. Bob supports low tax rates and economic expansion to establish a broad tax base. We must demand government become more efficient and effective, requiring less tax dollars."
- Excerpt: "The latest legislative session should be a wake-up call for Oklahoma. Bob believes that the state must develop a strategy that addresses better financial management. As a businessman, Bob understands the importance of long range budgets and the critical need for enhanced forecasting tools. The state must look at all agencies to consolidate and eliminate unnecessary costs. The tax code should be revised to eliminate tax breaks that do not result in jobs and provide economic growth for the state."
