Campaign themes

2016

Wentroth's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Education: Education needs to be viewed as an investment instead of an expense. With a great public education system, crime and prison populations will decrease, teenage pregnancy will decrease, poverty will decrease, and the overall health and economy of communities and our state will improve. Who would want to relocate their business or family in Oklahoma when we do such a poor job of supporting our teachers and schools? Public education has it’s roots in the United States because our founding fathers realized that if the general population can not read and think for themselves, our republic will not exist for long. They saw that a great education was not just for those who could afford it.
  • Teachers are leaving our state at record numbers and our teachers and school districts are being asked to do more and more with less. We are at a critical point in our state’s history where if we do not turn the attitude about funding our public schools around, they will not survive. We must put the future of our kids first and this has to be a priority.
  • Mental Health: I have witnessed the ever increasing need for good mental health resources in my role as a school administrator. Families are in need of support for individuals suffering with mental illness. Right now, these people can not receive the help they desperately need until a tragic event occurs.
  • Finance and Budgets: This is the most critical issue facing our state at this time. Schools and other agencies are being asked in early spring/early summer to spend money and enter into unbreakable contracts for the following year without knowing how much money they will be given. How can districts and other agencies be held to high standards and quality when they can’t budget correctly? Just like in a family budget, you have to know how much money is in the bank before you can plan home improvements. I believe that the budgets of our schools, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Human Services, etc have been cut as much as possible. The answer to our state’s financial troubles is not to continue to cut services. I have plans that would increase revenue without raising taxes. I’ll be speaking about these things in the future.[4]
