Campaign themes

2016

Teague's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Taxes, government spending and jobs: I will work to reduce government spending and debt. Out of control spending in Washington threatens our nation’s future, and government has grown too big in Oklahoma too. You and I live within our budgets. Government needs to learn that lesson too. I will fight for lower taxes. We work hard for the money we earn and are taxed enough already. I will support pro-business policies. We must create common sense tax and regulatory environments and make wise infrastructure investments so that our economy can thrive.
  • Traditional values: I will strongly defend our Second Amendment rights. I know the importance of being able to protect yourself and your home. I am an NRA member/gun owner. I will support the traditional Christian values this country was founded upon. I believe in moral responsibility. I am 100 percent pro-life, and I will support traditional marriage.
  • Healthcare and education: I oppose Obamacare and government takeover of healthcare. I will be a strong advocate for our schools. Money alone will not solve our problems. With reform, efficiency and higher standards, our students will succeed. I am committed to finding a better solution than common core and will work with legislators to establish a new Oklahoma standard. I will support good pay for educators, appropriate local funding of schools, and less red tape.
  • Transportation and public safety: I support better transportation funding because we need better roads in Oklahoma. Too much of our transportation related taxes and fees are diverted to non-road uses. I will oppose the early release of criminals. The rights of victims and law-abiding citizens must come first. People deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities. I will support the death penalty and smart on crime initiatives. I support strong measures against illegal immigration and oppose taxpayer-funded benefits for illegals. I support reform of our welfare laws, requiring work, drug tests and personal responsibility. I will fully support our public safety officials who serve our communities every day.
  • Support our military and vets: I support America’s armed forces and veterans. As the daughter of a retired Army officer, it is important to me to make sure those who stood in defense of our freedom and their dependents are taken care of adequately.[4]
 ”
—Tess Teague[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.
