Oliverson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Controlling our Border

A secure border is a hallmark of a sovereign nation. Our southern border is perhaps the greatest national security threat we face today. Dr. Oliverson believes that a secure southern border must come before immigration reform, and supports the efforts of Texas’ leaders to secure the southern border. To that end, he will vote to remove state funding from any municipality or law enforcement agency that refuses to enforce existing federal immigration law.

Protecting the Unborn:

An unapologetic defender of life, Dr. Oliverson is staunchly opposed to abortion. As a physician, he has often said of the abortion issue ”We have learned so much more about embryology and human development since Roe v. Wade, and the doctor’s motto is ‘first, do no harm’…My concern is that today, medical ethics has not kept pace with medical knowledge when it comes to family planning.” He is opposed to abortion in all cases, believing that all life is created innocent. He also believes it is not appropriate to “prejudge” whether a life is worth living or not.

Promoting Free Markets:

Dr. Oliverson is a staunch defender of free markets and low government regulation. As a small business owner and member of the Cy-Fair Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Oliverson believes that American prosperity comes through small business ownership and a spirit of volunteerism. He will fight to protect the free market from ever expanding government mandates and unelected bureaucracies.

Property Taxes:

Taxes are too high in Harris County, and we need meaningful tax relief now. Dr. Oliverson supports automatic “roll backs” in property tax rates when revenues increase above preset levels. He is also an advocate of the “fair tax” as a means of ultimately abolishing property taxes.

Economic Growth and Property Rights:

Our area is booming. The need for more public services including schools, roads and utilities is evident. Dr. Oliverson will work with County and State officials to ensure that we have the infrastructure needed to keep pace with our growth. At the same time, Dr. Oliverson is leery of depriving individuals of their property rights to accommodate this growth. In the event that property must be used for public purposes, he will work to ensure that the owners are compensated fairly.[6]
