The following issues were listed on Orentlicher's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Good Jobs with Good Pay: Close the tax loopholes that lead corporations to shelter their profits overseas rather than investing their profits at home to create good new jobs.

First-Class K-12 Education: A strong education provides the foundation for a successful life. We must ensure that all of our children can build the foundation they need.

Health Care Reform: The Affordable Care Act has done much to improve access to health care for millions of Americans—especially those with low incomes or who have heart disease, cancer or other “preexisting conditions.” But there still is more to be done. As a doctor, David O knows that just because you have insurance doesn’t mean you can afford to pay for medical care. Premiums, co-payments, and deductibles are still too high.
