Campaign themes

2016

Mooneyham-Hessman's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Public Education: Funding public education in Oklahoma is just good, common-sense policy. State funding for Oklahoma schools and teachers’ pay shouldn’t be near the bottom in our country, and we shouldn’t punish our children for a bunch of politicians’ mistakes. Let’s say no to the 4-day school week and no to vouchers, which take our tax dollars and give them to private institutions. It’s important to keep public money in public schools. We can give Oklahoma teachers competitive salaries and make the Oklahoma public education system the model of success that it should be.
  • The Economy: Instead of finding not-so-clever ways of passing the burden onto the average Oklahoman, perhaps the legislature should rescind the many tax cuts and incentives it has given multi-billion dollar corporate entities, including the $500 million tax cut package to oil and gas companies in 2015. The people of Oklahoma are the folks who need a break from anyone of the many tax burdens with which they face: income tax, sales tax, luxury tax, excise tax, fuel tax, “sun/wind” tax, highway use tax… Enough with regressive taxation! It’s time for leadership and practical economic policy. We can get our state out of the $1.3 billion budget hole that the governor and her party has dug without further hurting the average Oklahoman.
  • Supporting Small Businesses: As a small business owner, I understand the struggles of the average business person. Instead of policies that just favor large companies, let’s create a more inclusive business climate and an environment that encourages our citizens to open and sustain family businesses. I take pride in buying local/Made in Oklahoma (MIO) products. If we work together to boost our homegrown treasures, the state of Oklahoma will certainly be a place that’s open for business.
  • Guns: Guns are not the problem in our state and in our country. The question shouldn’t be about 'should we have guns(?),' but 'who should have them(?).' Common-sense gun reform wouldn’t affect the vast majority of citizens who responsibly own guns – those who hunt and wish to protect their homes. Those folks that are prior offenders and/or can’t pass a psychological evaluation, shouldn’t be trusted to walk our streets armed and intent on doing harm to others. This issue is much simpler than some might have us believe. All we want is to be able to go to work, go to school, go to church, just live our lives without the fear of an armed assailant taking away our God-given right to live.
