Campaign themes

2016

McEachin's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Education: Education is the cornerstone of our future. I believe that the best way to improve our schools is to give teachers and parents the freedom to teach and invest in the lives of their students. Many of the challenges that we face in public education are driven by bureaucrats who find their value in chasing statistics rather than giving teachers the tools that they need to succeed. It is crucial for us to have an Oklahoma based solution to education because we will demand more from ourselves. I believe that strong, Oklahoma standards will drive us into the future and set our children apart from the next generation.
  • Public Safety: The primary role of government is to protect the people both abroad and here at home. I believe that we have grown accustomed to government doing more than it was intended to do. Because of it, we now have a budget shortfall of over $1 billion and spend more than we ever have in the history of our state. The dangers we face as a community are real in the new age of radical Islamic terrorism. I believe that we need to re-focus our efforts on keeping our community safe and making sure that public safety is properly funded.
  • Transportation: Our society cannot function without efficient infrastructure. In 2005, the Oklahoma legislature passed legislation that sought to fix our aging roads and bridges that had been neglected for more than 20 years of failed democratic leadership. Their efforts, combined with hard work and aggressive repairs have reduced the number of deficient bridges in Oklahoma by 71%. But, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), there is still work to be done. Our economy continues to diversify away from the traditional areas of energy and agriculture and faces infrastructure that is both aged and deteriorating. I believe that we need to focus on rebuilding our infrastructure for the 21st century to further drive the diversification of our economy.
  • Healthcare & Social Services: This year Oklahomans will pay more than $2 billion for health and social services. Proper health and social service policies are essential to the success of our state. Because of Obamacare, federal bureaucrats are forcing regulations on local hospitals that are driving them and their doctors into larger conglomerations. They are also using Medicaid and Medicare regulations to consolidate medical practitioners into larger health systems. Many times this will drive doctors away from their patients and shift more primary care onto nurses and physician assistants. I believe that we need to do more to support our local doctors and hospitals and focus on healthcare policy that puts the doctors and patients first.[5]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Oklahoma

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
