Olivas' campaign website listed the following issues:[17]

National Security and Foreign Policy: "Our politicians often mix U.S. national security interests with the national security interest of other nations. They are both crucial, but separate issues that require geo-specific solutions. The founding Constitutional principles intent is to secure our national interests first and foremost. We “Insure domestic tranquility” and “provide for the common defense,” by first securing our nation to preserve our freedoms, and “Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”"

Energy Independence: "It will be my priority to make the United States energy independent. We must use our finite natural resources wisely and encourage research and development of alternative energy sources that are vital for our future. As your Representative in Congress, I will focus on energy security and independence for our future. We must eliminate our dependency upon foreign oil interests and politicians that despise us."

Economic and Individual Freedom: "America was once the freest country in the world and Americans enjoyed liberty that was the envy of most other countries. The Obama Administration has created a federal monstrosity that continues to encroach upon our personal freedom. History and current events around the world teaches us that the erosion of personal freedom and choice creates fertile ground for the rise of dictatorships."
