Campaign themes

2016

Ryan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Education for ALL of Oklahoma’s students: Public education is definitely a priority for me. I work in a public school transportation office, and I am the proud husband of a public school teacher who, like most of her colleagues, works tirelessly year round to deliver a quality education to her students and community. My daughter goes to public school, and like every parent, I want to make sure that she’s prepared for a successful and fulfilling life. It is important to take steps now that will put the most money directly into the classroom, so that our children have the best instruction, technology, and opportunities we can give them. Let’s reduce the number and scope of unfunded mandates placed upon school districts and get the most out of every dollar intended for public education.
  • School Safety and Transportation: Getting students to school quickly, efficiently, and safely is the first step in providing excellent educational opportunities. The most dangerous moment is a child’s day is when he gets on and off the bus. I intend to lead the charge to find additional means to enforce compliance for drivers as they pass buses that are loading and unloading students. For instance, stop-arm-cameras could deter drivers from ignoring the flashing red lights of a stopped school bus.
  • Pro-life, Adoption, and Foster care: My wife and I are one of thousands of couples in Oklahoma that are not able to have children. You can imagine our joy when we adopted our precious daughter. I want that opportunity for all Oklahoma families. I am a firm believer that life begins at conception and should be protected. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services has 8,362 children in out-of-home care. Of these children, 1,982 are waiting to meet their forever family[1]. I will continue to support programs that protect Oklahoma’s children and that provide opportunities for these children to safely join loving families.
  • Budget: The budget is arguably the most difficult issue facing all Oklahomans today. Let’s start by considering ALL options. We won’t fix the budget quickly or without bi-partisan effort. It will take legislators working together with the good of every Oklahoman in mind. Special interest groups should not have a place in the budget process. We cannot in good conscience cut Education, DHS, Medicare/Medicaid, ODOT, and other critical services to the point they are no longer effective.[1]
