Stewart-Cousins' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[31]

Women’s Issues: Equality Act & Paid Family Leave

Excerpt: "While New York has made strides in protecting women’s hard-won rights, Senator Stewart-Cousins knows there is more to do. Two important steps include passage of the entire ten point Women’s Equality Act and ensuring Paid Family Leave becomes law in New York State."

Jobs & Economic Development

Excerpt: "Senator Stewart-Cousins knows the state must be engaged in finding new and innovative means of attracting new businesses and retaining jobs. She has been at the forefront of the State’s efforts to truly make New York Open for Business."

Taxes

Excerpt: "Senator Stewart-Cousins understands that Westchester taxpayers are over-burdened. That’s why she has a strong record of lowering taxes and keeping New York affordable. She voted to lower the middle class income tax rates to the lowest levels in 60 years. She also successfully fought to cut a tax on utility bills called the 18A utility assessment. This tax cut will save businesses and individuals $300 million over the next three years."

Ethics & Campaign Finance Reform

Excerpt: "Senator Stewart-Cousins is a strong voice for restoring the public trust in government by passing stricter ethics laws and revising the state’s broken campaign finance system."

Minimum Wage

Excerpt: "Senator Stewart-Cousins believes that New York’s current minimum wage of $8 an hour is just not sufficient. She also believes that the incremental increase to $9 an hour, set to take place by 2016, does not happen fast enough. She has been pushing for a better, more immediate increase of the minimum wage that is indexed to the rate of inflation."
