Ruiz's campaign website listed the following issues:[14]

Jobs and the Economy: "Reduce the deficit in a way that protects working families, retirees, and people who have lost their homes, jobs, and security during the last few years."

Breaking Gridlock: "As an Emergency Room physician, I’m trained to focus on solving problems and getting things done. When a patient is in the emergency room, it doesn’t matter whether they’re a Democrat or Republican, or who gets credit for solving the problem; all that matters is fixing the problem. That’s the approach I’ll bring to Congress."

Education: "Prepare all our children for success by making college affordable, investing in preschool and vocational training, and fully funding after school programs."

Medicare and Social Security: "Always protect Social Security and Medicare from attempts to slash the guaranteed benefits California seniors have paid for and planned on."

Standing Up for What's Right: "The executive order to stop deporting young people who were brought here through no fault of their own is very important to me. Congress should stop playing politics and recognize that everyone has an interest in immigration reform."
