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

Abortion: Since Roe v. Wade made abortion legal in the United States in 1973, it has unfairly become one of the main litmus tests for determining which party you belong. As decisive as this has been in choosing a representative, the House of Representatives by itself can do nothing and is extremely limited to overturn this law without the full cooperation of the Executive Branch and Congressional majorities.

Bailouts: No more bailouts, period! Not only can we not afford this nonsensical expenditure that our most recent presidents have indulged in, but it grossly rewards inept business practices and unjustly punishes the American taxpayer. What this next Congress will likely see are potential bailout requests from health insurance providers, municipalities such as Detroit and Chicago, states like California, and even territories such as Puerto Rico. My answer to these and any others, be it commercial or governmental, that come looking for bailouts is simply this - No More Bailouts!

Balanced Budget: It appears that Congress and past Presidents have always been incapable of taking steps toward balancing the federal budget. Though the act of spending more than the tax revenue taken in has been around since the founding of our country, only in the last 10 years has it really accelerated to uncontrollable levels. I am in complete favor of a balance budget amendment to the US Constitution.

Deficit Spending/Debt Ceiling: Currently at a staggering $19.5 trillion, debt ceiling increases that pay for habitual deficit spending must not continue to be treated by politicians as an election year hindrance. This is an extreme threat to our prosperity, well being, freedoms and national security and must be treated as such. This must play into the debate of all spending and governmental endeavors.

Domestic Spying/NSA: I can’t imagine why anyone would be for the unlawful tapping of your own phone or computer communitcations. It’ not just an invasion of your privacy, but a clear violation of your Constitutional rights.
