Campaign themes

2014

Swager's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Water and its reuse

  • Excerpt: "Have our own water district."

Tax transparency

  • Excerpt: "No one likes paying taxes, but understands that’s part of living in our country, however, not knowing where those taxes go, and how much in relation our district is sending to Oklahoma City vs. how much we get back is a very important."

Education

  • Excerpt: "I would like to see more local control. We know what we need to teach our children so that they can compete in this world. I would like to see No federal input, and just some state involvement. Local control."

Infrastructure

  • Excerpt: "Roads, bridges, transmission lines. This goes back to Tax transparency. Also the Keystone pipeline that President Obama has now put on hold indefinitely."
