“I champion all educational efforts in the state of Wyoming. With the collapse of the coal industry, and some serious budget shortfalls, there is not any entity under the State of Wyoming budget that will not be analyzed for the utmost efficiency. K-12 education accounts for one-third of the budget. I support education, but it will have to be included in the scrutiny for the upcoming lean years.”

Conflicts

Oakley has received a negative () score for Integrity for the following judicial conflicts:

Oakley serves as the Assistant Fremont County Attorney, whose office is directly involved with Fremont County drug treatment courts and any participating judge(s) therein.  The Wyoming Supreme Court has consistently pushed, perhaps even lobbied, for the transfer of substance abuse/mental health treatment issues from the WY Dept. of Health (executive branch) to the Judicial Branch.  Not only are the following bills unconstitutional because they facilitate the transfer of Executive branch duties to the Judicial branch (WY State Constitution Article 2, Section 1; Article 5, Section 16), they are also a conflict for any legislator-attorney.  As such Oakley should have recused herself from voting on:
