LaMalfa's 2014 campaign website listed the following issues:[15]

Spending: "Spending is out of control; in the past four years our nation has added over $6 trillion in new debt. This is not a one party spending problem, both have been complicit in increasing spending dramatically. Today, America faces $16 trillion in debt, and much of it to foreign countries hostile to our freedom and way of life. Now is the time we must face these challenges, to simply put off the dealing with this debt only makes it worse."

Taxes: "It is not the taxpayers fault that government overspends. Increasing tax rates or creating new types of taxes will harm our fragile economy and cause more local businesses to cut jobs or close entirely. America needs to promote growth in our economy and that means keeping taxes low."

The Constitution: "America’s founding fathers created a balance, one of individual rights, states rights and limited federal government. Our Constitution sets forth that government is designed to protect our individual rights and that all power belongs to the people- Not bestowed by Government."

The Second Amendment: "I am an ardent defender of our Second Amendment rights. I believe firmly in the individual right to keep and bear arms. I will fight any attempt to water down or weaken our rights, while pushing to ensure our rights to hunt and defend ourselves are expanded."

Foreign Aid: "America should not fund our enemies. I find it unconscionable that Americans should sacrifice from their families as well as our courageous military members to support those who oppose our way of life and freedom. If a country cannot stand with America publicly, defend our embassies, oppose terrorists, and be a partner on the world stage we should not give financial or military aid. "
