Campaign themes
2016
An article published by FortySix News on November 20, 2015, discussed Tyler's campaign announcement and his positions on key issues:[1]
Regulation and economic growth
- Excerpt: "Small businesses are the backbone of any community, but government overreach has stifled job growth. We need to eliminate burdensome regulations to allow small businesses to succeed and create jobs."
Education
- Excerpt: "We have real problems and we need to find real solutions. We spend too much on school bureaucracy and not enough on classroom instruction. We need standards set by local parents, not by dictates from the federal government that impose a one-size-fits-all approach."
Individual rights and state sovereignty
- Excerpt: "Hammons describes himself as a conservative who believes in the rights of individuals, parents, families, and the unborn. He is a member of the National Rifle Association who supports the Second Amendment."
- Excerpt: "The Legislature has abdicated too much [to] special interests. We will build a stronger Oklahoma by championing Oklahoma values and setting priorities that benefit Oklahoma families."
