Campaign website

Caraway's campaign website stated the following:

Veteran's Affairs

I am committed to providing veterans with the resources that help transition our men and women in the military from active duty to civilian life. In Congress I will fight for surviving spouse benefits, low interest loans for veterans who want to start businesses, college attendance opportunities and transitional housing programs.

Public Safety

I support the Military that keep our nation safe. I also support local efforts that create a trust between local law enforcement and the communities and neighborhoods that they are sworn to protect.

Equality

Congressional District 30 has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. 38% in 2012. The underlying factors that lead to this disparity are: a less educated workforce, invisible living wage, lack of decent affordable housing and single family homes both women and men. I will work hard to eliminate these prohibitions that contribute to fewer people achieving the American Dream.

Every American deserves quality and affordable healthcare. I will work to improve not repeal the Affordable Care Act, known as “Obama Care”. I will also work for the preservation of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

I will address these issues with a loud voice and energy to bring our district into the 21st Century.[14]
