Campaign themes

2016

Maguire's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education

  • Excerpt: "Our System is in Shambles. Common Core has ripped apart our common foundations. But, do you believe we are better off today than we were 4 years ago? I don't. We absolutely need a clear mandate that takes Washington out of Our Classrooms."
  • Excerpt: "I am not seeking to eliminate [property tax] exemptions like some want. I believe they provide an opportunity for those in need. However, I am opposed to homestead exemption abuse. I have witnessed first hand, where individuals continue to file exemptions they are not eligible for. It happens more than you think. This has to end.

Infrastructure

  • Excerpt: "All Over Cleveland County we have Roads and bridges that are in Dangerous need of Repair."
  • Excerpt: "This isn't just a Countywide issue. It is much broader. Rural families deserve access to their homes. Roads in Moore and Midwest City are also in desperate need of attention. Unsafe zones and potholes remain to this date. Stormwater issues have also been hampered due to the inaction of our legislature. I will seek to remedy our State's Transportation woes. I will work with County Officials to help resolve our District Road Problems."

Access and accountability of government officials

  • Excerpt: "I hear over and over again from YOU that our Senator has not been accountable, or available, to the constituents. This mirrors my experiences. I do not have anything personally against Rob Standridge. I Voted for him as well. But, I have received little to no information from his office. And, only my Representative has taken the time to respond to my inquiries. What I see is an organization that isn't focusing on the needs of our District. Under his leadership we are in a situation where the Republican Party lacks unity."
