Campaign themes

2016

McCray's campaign website listed the following themes for 2016:

Eric McCray Will Work To Reopen Riverside
Shutting down Riverside for 2 years with no end in sight is unacceptable. We can make opening Riverside for commuters a priority and fast track the reopening date.

Eric Will Work To Consolidate Road Construction Projects And Crews
Tulsa commuters should not have to endure multiple, simultaneous road projects which shut down traffic all over the city. We should not see roads shut down with nobody present working on the projects. Crews should focus on a project 24/7 until it is completed and then move to the next. There is a management issue with the roads in Tulsa, and I aim to fix it.

Eric Will Keep Our District Safe
Government assistance programs tend to fund the crime problem in our District. If you don’t have to work for your food or housing, you likely have the time and entitlement mentality to commit crime. We have had one of the highest crime spots in all of Tulsa at 61st and Peoria. It is no coincidence that it is located near the swath of government assistance housing. It is not merely a poverty problem—I will work with law enforcement officials, community leaders, and business owners to determine the best way to deter crime from our District while promoting and bringing business to District 9. Let’s change the reputation on this side of town.[4]

—Eric McCray (2016), [5]
