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

Veterans: As Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Health, I have been working on issues important to our nation’s servicemembers and veterans, including timely access to quality health care, improving the veterans’ claims process, and making sure we hold the VA accountable for providing the care our veterans have earned and deserve.

Naval Base Ventura County: Protecting Naval Base Ventura County is a top priority for our community and for me, and I will continue to work with our community and my colleagues in Congress to strengthen and protect Naval Base Ventura County.

Job Creation: As Ventura County’s Congresswoman, I look at everything I do through the lens of how it will create jobs and grow our economy here at home. From our port, to our large and small businesses, to our naval base and agricultural community, I work every day to advance federal policy that will support our diverse economy.

Energy & the Environment: We must protect and preserve our environment for future generations, and that requires careful stewardship of our precious natural resources. Environmental protection is also key to growing a vibrant 21st century economy. I have been a staunch advocate for moving us away from our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil and have supported efforts to cut our greenhouse gas emissions.

Health Care: I strongly believe that every American deserves access to affordable, high quality health care. Whether that means improving care at the VA, protecting Medicare for our seniors, or improving the Affordable Care Act so that it works for more Americans, the ultimate goal must be to increase access to quality care while reducing the cost to middle-class families.[17]

Brownley's campaign website listed the following issues:[18]

Job Creation

Excerpt: "I understand that our economy is beginning to improve, but we still have a long way to go toward full economic recovery. That’s why I will advocate for strategic investments in infrastructure and new innovations and energy technologies to create jobs now and simultaneously reduce our dependence on foreign and domestic oil. "

Education

Excerpt: "I have dedicated most of my career to improving our schools, colleges and universities because I believe in fighting for a brighter future for California kids. I first became involved with education as a PTA leader when my children were young, continued as an elected School Board Member for 12 years, and have been the Assembly Education Chair for the last four years."

Environment

Excerpt: "Protecting the environment and preserving it for future generations is essential and requires careful stewardship of our precious natural resources. Environmental protection is also key to growing our vibrant 21st century economy. I have been a staunch advocate for moving America away from our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and foreign oil."

Seniors

Excerpt: "Balancing our budget does not mean doing so off the backs of America’s seniors, who have paid a lifetime into Medicare and Social Security while “Big Oil” and the ultra rich get more tax breaks. Republicans want to end Medicare, which would reduce seniors’ benefits and increase seniors’ health care and prescription drug costs."

Healthcare

Excerpt: "I strongly believe that every American deserves access to affordable high quality health care. The Affordable Care Act passed in 2010 made some much needed improvements to our health care system like eliminating pre-existing conditions and allowing children to stay on their parent’s insurance until age 26, but the law also has some problems like reducing increased future spending on Medicare."
