Dahm's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[27]
The Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "For too long this God-given right to self-defense has been infringed upon by all levels of government. This right needs to be protected rather than infringed upon, and it should start at the state level with our Legislature doing everything in their power to guarantee this right to the People of Oklahoma."
Balanced Budget
- Excerpt: "We need to make sure that our state has and maintains a balanced budget, including finances in reserve for the rainy day fund. This surplus fund should be kept only for emergencies, such as ice storms, tornados, etc. and not to finance special interest projects or any mismanaged items that should be included in the regular budgeting process."
Education Reform
- Excerpt: "While an education is guaranteed in the Oklahoma State Constitution, we need to take a more balanced and free-market approach to education, rather than a one-size-fits-all government solution. More of the money allocated for education needs to go directly to classrooms, and less of it should go to bureaucrats. We should also look at consolidation, charter schools, and other efforts to put our education funds to better use. And we need to allow parents to take on their rightful roles as head of the family unit to decide what form of education is best for their children and family as a whole."
Lower Taxes
- Excerpt: "We should work towards lowering and eliminating the state income tax to alleviate the people of Oklahoma from excessive taxation as we work to lower other taxes as well."
Pro Life
- Excerpt: "Our federal and state governments have both been implicit in allowing the depriving of life for millions of unborn children. The life of the unborn is precious, and our state Legislature should do everything within its power to protect that life and guarantee it the equal protection of our laws."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
