2014
Hasenbeck's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[10]
Education
- Excerpt: "I want to get to work and put the building blocks in place to making Oklahoma the premiere state for education in the nation. We need to continue and use the Oklahoma Promise program to ensure that more Oklahoma students can get an affordable education. We want to encourage those young people to stay in rural Oklahoma, to run farms here, to work here and to start businesses here."
Small Business
- Excerpt: "The Oklahoma Legislature needs to create an environment so that folks willing to take a leap of faith to start their own business have the tools and resources to get started and be prosperous because small business is the unacknowledged backbone of our society and a key to our economic future."
Agriculture/Natural Resources
- Excerpt: "I want to see communities in District 65 benefit from that just as much as Oklahoma City and Tulsa do. All of the so-called “government reform” at the Capitol, needs to ensure that the interests of agriculture and natural resources are protected. For instance Oklahoma needs to continue to put legislation in place that guarantees the state’s water resources are conserved."
Disaster Preparedness
- Excerpt: "Oklahoma is more natural disaster prone than most states in the country, and the May, 2013 tornadoes showed us just how vulnerable we can be. The tragic loss of young life in Moore dominated news coverage, but many smaller, rural communities were devastated by the storms as well. I believe Oklahoma deserves better disaster preparedness measures like emergency shelters that would serve schools and communities for any future disasters."
Economic Future
- Excerpt: "We are doing more with less, and I commend rural educators for what they do, I am one of them. It’s time our legislature backed them up with more and better resources. Restore the cuts to funding we took during the down turn. Maybe you don’t have kids in rural schools, but I bet your drive our rural roads. Infrastructure is crumbling across the state. Better roads and bridges are vital to our communities. I want more Oklahomans working on road crews to repair and build new roads and bridges. I want to be certain that conditions are favorable so that all Oklahomans who want to work have the opportunity."

Scorecards
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.
