Campaign themes
2014
Rodriguez's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Water
- Excerpt: "If elected, I will hold this as my primary goal. I will submit legislation every year concerning the improvement of water availability in western Oklahoma, including Oklahoma House District 63."
Education
- Excerpt: "If elected I would vote to repeal Common Core State Standards and restore local control. I would also lobby our Congressmen and U.S. Senators to untangle the “Race to the Top” Grants at the Federal level."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "As a politician and an American citizen, I do not support another income tax reduction, primarily because I believe that it is not designed to save any money. The lack of income tax revenue is supplanted by other taxes; reducing income taxes or energy production taxes means that they are replaced by school bonds and other property taxes, as well as by increasing state fees."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "I fully support expanding Medicare to Oklahoma citizens to provide care to those that can not otherwise afford it."
