Haley Stevens in 2018 League of Women Voters

On Energy & Oil: Supported Cash for Clunkers, for environmental efficiency

Haley Stevens: Like it or not, climate change is real and we need to start acting accordingly. During the Auto Rescue we not only helped save GM and Chrysler, we did it while improving fuel efficiency standards and spurring American auto companies to build the cars of the future. We implemented Cash for Clunkers, an incentive-based program that allowed consumers to trade in old, environmentally inefficient vehicles for 21st century models. We can have industry and a clean environment, but only with leaders in Congress who are willing to get the job done.

On Government Reform: Citizens United lets anonymous billionaires buy elections

Haley Stevens: Our current system is set up to benefit the wealthy and well-connected. We need to fix that or Congress will continue to pass trillion dollar corporate giveaways like the Republicans' abhorrent tax bill. That's why we need to overturn Citizens United so that anonymous billionaires cannot buy our elections. Just as importantly, we need to expand access to the ballot. In a Democracy it is our fundamental right to vote, which is why we need to fully reinstate the Voting Rights Act and protect our citizens' ability to make our voices heard.

On Health Care: Protect ObamaCare: health care is a right, not a privilege

Haley Stevens: I believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Every American deserves access to affordable, high-quality health care. We need to protect and improve the Affordable Care Act by fully implementing it. We also must take steps toward lowering prescription drug prices, first and foremost by letting the federal government use the full weight of its bargaining power to reduce costs for Medicare. And it is totally unacceptable that in the greatest country on earth any child goes without health care. We must improve and strengthen the Children's Health Insurance Program.

On Immigration: Comprehensive reform, with long-term solution for DREAMers

A: For generations families have come to America seeking a better life for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. We are a nation of immigrants, but sadly our immigration system today is broken. It can and must be fixed without tearing apart families who come here in pursuit of the American dream. Let's pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes increased border security and a long term solution for our DREAMERs. I do not believe Congress should be in the business of punishing children brought to America through no choice of their own.

On Technology: Invest in maintenance & repair of built environment

Haley Stevens: First and foremost we need to pass an infrastructure bill that allows us to invest in the maintenance and repair of our built environment: roads, schools, bridges, and watermains. We also need an infrastructure package that supports public-private partnerships to modernize and capture opportunities to innovate through energy efficiency, a smart grid, and technologies that improve and build off our current system. Additionally we must raise the minimum wage--by putting more money in working families' pockets we can boost spending power and improve our local economies.
