Campaign themes

2016

Parson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • I believe that we need true local control of education and that starts at the dinner table at home.
  • I believe that the Second Amendment is fundamental to who we are as a nation and as a state. It is not rooted in hunting or sport, but in the right to defend our lives, families, and property.
  • I believe that we need to end the practice of abortion in Oklahoma.
  • I am a fiscal conservative because experience has taught me that responsibility matters.
  • I believe that the states have the authority to determine what they want their cultures to be.[5]
—Carl Parson[6]
