Campaign themes
2014
Francel's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "We must prepare the future generation to handle our changing world both creatively and logically. As an 8th grade science teacher, I experience and witness this monumental task every single day. My background has prepared me to be a relentless warrior for education in the state of Oklahoma."
Economic Growth
- Excerpt: "We must continue to advocate for the renaissance of Oklahoma City; the incredible changes in our metro have impacted District 22 in tremendous ways. My education in City Planning at MIT, with both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees focusing on economic development, has uniquely prepared me to be an advocate and champion of economic growth."
Freedom
- Excerpt: "I believe in the freedom of the individual to live their life how they see fit as long as they are not hurting someone else...freedom of the local school district or town to make the decisions that impact their unique population...freedom of the state to make decisions without persistent meddling from Washington. Is there any ideal more American than freedom? Yet it seems freedom is continually under attack in our society. We must work to maintain and restore those freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution."
