Dana on the Issues:
Health Care
We need to ensure that we have adequate health care for all Oklahomans, particularly children and senior citizens. The rising cost of prescriptions needs to be addressed and we should make access to prenatal care a priority. Providing high levels of preventative care and early intervention is a more cost-effective way of spending our health care dollars.
Education
It is essential for Oklahoma to continue to build on the recent improvements that we have made in our education system. We must pay competitive salaries and continually refine our teacher training programs in order to have the highest quality professional educators available. In addition, improving access to early testing for learning differences will enable our schools to address potential problems in students sooner, increasing their chances for success in school.
Job Creation and Protection
In addition to attracting new jobs to Oklahoma, we need to hold on to the jobs we have by finding ways to help small businesses stay competitive and supporting the companies that are already here. Improved access to health care, a strong public education system, and maintaining our infrastructure will make our state a more desirable location for business.
