• 9-Point Plan for the Economy – Paying for the Plan: "Over the last several weeks, I have revealed a plan for the economy that will repair, replace and expand our schools, roads bridges and airports, lift millions out of poverty, reduce costs to the justice system, end too big to fail, end tax-breaks for sending jobs overseas, make college more affordable and rebuild our social safety net."

• 11-Point Plan for Social Justice – Immigration Reform: "If you listen to the rhetoric, they take jobs away from Americans, drain billions from our economy and pose a threat to the safety of our nation, but in reality immigrants are good for America and creating a path to citizenship creates new jobs, increases tax revenue and reduces crime, while deporting 12 million people is impractical and would cost the economy jobs, decrease tax revenue and cause an increase in crime."

• Agriculture: "Once elected, I will sponsor legislation that will allow farmers to grow hemp to be used in the production of textiles, biofuels and other beneficial products, giving them a viable cash crop that is less expensive to produce and more ecologically friendly than other crops."

• Gun Rights: "The right to self-protection is supreme. Taking guns from law-abiding citizens benefits criminals and jeopardizes that right."

• Abortion: "It is my personal belief that abortion is a practice that we should do our best to end in our society, but making the act of having an abortion a crime does not advance that goal, it puts the lives of women in jeopardy and violates the rights guaranteed to all Americans under the United States Constitution. In 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman’s right to have an abortion is constitutionally protected, and I agree with that ruling."
