Campaign themes
2016
Oliver's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Criminal justice reform
- Excerpt: "Decrease the overcrowded jail and prison population by readdressing the sentencing of certain non-violent crimes. Allow for drug related violations offenders to enter a separate treatment program with special emphasis on rehabilitation. Examine fees charged by the courts that actually lead to incarceration and added expense to the state. Allow non-violent offenders to repay fees while being gainfully employed and productive instead the expensive alternative of incarceration."
- Excerpt: "Ensure that adequate staffing of prisons protects both the guards and prisoners."
Education
- Excerpt: "Public tax money should be spent on public education as stated in the Oklahoma Constitution. In order to promote high education quality, the state should invest in and foster highly qualified teacher recruitment and retention by offering financial incentives and full reinstatement of the original intent of HB 1017."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Encourage the promotion of insurance programs that cover the indigent, the children, the vulnerable and elderly with sufficient resources for adequate, affordable healthcare. Examine carefully programs that take advantage of matching federal money. Encourage early and preventative treatment for illness, which is always more cost effective than late stage disease and traumatic treatment."
Tax and fiscal policy
- Excerpt: "Tax money is collected to support vital government functions and provide for the common good of all Oklahomans. Accountability and frequent reviews must accompany tax cuts and incentives. Taxes need be spent not only to adequately sustain government agencies, but also as an investment in the state’s future. Spending must reflect the state constitution’s commitments to core agencies."
