Campaign website

Brecheen's campaign website stated the following:

Drain The Swamp +

The federal government has evolved beyond anything the founders of our nation intended or even imagined. We must reduce Washington’s influence in our daily lives. The most effective way to do that is to pass term limits on Members of Congress.

Politics +

The last thing we need to do is send another politician to Washington. We need statesmen who put the national interest above self interest. The most effective solution to eliminate corruption in Washington D.C. is to enact term limits. I honored my term limits pledge when I served in the State Senate and will do so again.

Term Limits +

We must enact term limits. I honored my term limits pledge when I served in the State Senate and will do so again. If elected, I will serve no more than four terms in the House Of Representatives.

Immigration +

A nation cannot exist without borders. The immigration crisis at the Southern border is a result of decades of misguided policies that neglect border security and disregard the rule of law. We must enforce the rule of law and we must build the wall at the Southern border.

Education +

The education of children in America is a parental responsibility. Education policy must recognize this fundamental truth. There should be no federal role in education.

Inflation +

All of us are feeling the devastating impact of inflation. The inflation crisis in America is the direct result of the Democrats’ interference in the economy. By artificially pumping trillions into the economy, career politicians are destroying the buying power of those they intended to help. The remedy for inflation is to stop government’s runaway spending.

Debt +

America’s current financial path is unsustainable. We must course correct by cutting spending, reducing the size and scope of government, and increasing revenue through growth — not tax increases. We must put America on a sustainable path. It is not an option.

Protect Life +

Life begins at conception. All Americans, born and pre-born are created by God and deserve the protection afforded them by the Constitution. We must protect life.

Medicare +

We must protect Social Security and Medicare.

National Security +

The world is a very dangerous place and these are sobering times. America will remain free only if America is strong. We must provide for a strong national defense. It is not optional.

Balancing Family & Leadership +

These are extraordinary times, it’s going to take courage and hard work to course correct and put America back on the right track. I believe the greatest challenge for all those called to public service is to help America course correct without sacrificing time with our families.

Crime +

The left’s foolish and misguided efforts to defund the police have resulted in skyrocketing crime rates and countless lives shattered by violent crimes. I support our local law enforcement. We must back the blue.

Second Amendment +

I strongly support our second amendment rights to bear arms. If we lose the second amendment, then our first amendment rights

will soon fall.

Electoral College +[10]

—Josh Brecheen's campaign website (2022)[11]

Brecheen campaign website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]

Legislative Pay: "Oklahoma lawmakers are the third highest part time paid legislature in the entire nation. Oklahoma state lawmakers earn over $50,000 for only four months of work a year ($38,400 plus a tax-free per diem and reimbursement on mileage), while the average Oklahoman earns only $30,000 for a full twelve months of work. Those in elected office must earn the trust and respect of the taxpayer by not accepting an easy ride."

Brecheen on state priorities[13]

Education: "Giving public schools flexibility and the best tools possible will fuel ingenuity and enable their students to excel in ways the government couldn’t dream of...Josh will also run legislation (until passed) requiring every lawmaker to place their retirement inside of the teacher retirement system in order to give incentive to make the system solvent."

Water: "Josh will fight to protect the quality/volume of the Arbuckle Simpson Aquifer and will look to CPASA for insight and ideas on how to move the ball forward. As a conservative, Josh believes in more local control and this certainly pertains to water issues."

Agriculture: "Growing up on a working cattle and cow horse ranch and working in a family owned John Deere Dealership taught Josh the value of hard work and agriculture’s vital role in Oklahoma’s economy. Today, Josh ranches and owns a performance Quarter Horse breeding operation."

Right to Bear Arms: "I believe firmly and will defend the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” I am a lifetime hunter and fisher and a strong advocate of that right as well."

Jobs: "Since the founding of our country, our ancestors, with innovation and inventions, passed on greater prosperity to each generation that followed – fostered in a nation and work environment that encouraged opportunity with the goal of personal responsibility and success that would be celebrated as one provided for their family. For the past few years however, the private sector has declined from too much government intrusion, government growth, and a business killing environment created by those who do not understand nor encourage small business success, particularly in rural communities."

Defending Life: "Josh earns a 100% pro-life rating from Oklahomans for Life. Josh choice to run on the Republican ticket centers on this issue."
