2014
Munson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[14]
Jobs
- Excerpt: "Cyndi knows that good jobs are the key to a strong economy. She’s proud to live in what’s considered by many to be the most recession-proof state in the nation, but knows that we’ll have to work to keep it that way. Cyndi believes Oklahoma has the opportunity to attract businesses and jobs by promoting high standards of living and providing incentives for businesses to thrive in our state."
Education
- Excerpt: "A product of the Oklahoma education system and caring teachers, Cyndi knows education has to be a priority. Cyndi is dedicated to ensuring that our public schools have the funding they need to provide a first-class education for our students. She is dedicated to try new approaches that will provide standards for schools but will not tie down their ability to teach Oklahoma’s children."
Women and Girls
- Excerpt: "Oklahoma is ranked the second worst state in the nation for women to live in. One in four women in Oklahoma don’t have health insurance. 49% of women in Oklahoma will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Cyndi knows these kinds of statistics are unacceptable and will fight to change them as a legislator. Oklahoma’s women need a strong voice at the State Capitol, and Cyndi will be there for them."
Campaign finance summary

Depending on the election or state, this may represent only a portion of all the funds spent on their behalf.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
