Campaign themes
2016
Mason's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "I am committed to public education. I have spent 31 years teaching and coaching the youth of Oklahoma. I am fortunate to have many CPA’s, lawyers, doctors, engineers, business owners, and medical professionals among my former students. Oklahoma public schools offer the opportunity for those who want to excel and provide accommodations for all those with special needs."
- Excerpt: "As your senator, I will help develop a steady stream of funding that will allow districts to budget and plan for the future. We must allow our districts to be prepared for the betterment of our students. Supporting public education will also provide an educated populace to be employees of businesses coming to our state. This has to be a priority in our state government."
Community development
- Excerpt: "Higher operating cost, traffic crashes, congestion, and related delays are a result of Oklahoma roads being rated low, as 28% of major locally and state maintained roads are in poor condition and 42% are in mediocre or fair condition. This is costing Oklahomans 4.9 billion dollars annually. Quality roads, bridges, and infrastructure are necessary for commerce. Our cities, rural areas, transportation companies need quality roads and available utilities to continue to grow our economy. Poor roads increase maintenance costs and time for delivery in an ever more competitive market."
Small business
- Excerpt: "The small business is the foundation of our local economy. As your senator, I will work to reduce the regulatory burden on small business and combine state agencies to create a single place where they can get many questions answered. Having to go to 3 or 4 different agencies in order to gather the information necessary to open a small business, is discouraging for an entrepreneur. We should be trying to help our neighbors open businesses to prosper and employ Oklahomans."
NRA member
- Excerpt: "As your senator, I will defend our State’s Constitutional Provision Article II Section 26 which states 'The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person, property, or in aid of the civil power, when thereunto, legally summoned, shall never be prohibited, but nothing here in contained shall prevent the legislature from regulating the carrying of weapons.'"
