Sewell's official website listed the following issues:[12]
Education
Excerpt: "A successful workforce starts with a solid education base. As a product of public schools and the daughter of two educators, I know firsthand the difference that a strong education can make in achieving the American Dream, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic background. Improving education can help break the cycle of poverty that affects families all across west Alabama."
Healthcare
Excerpt: "Every person in the 7th Congressional District, Alabama and across America deserves access to affordable, quality health care, whether you live in a city or a small town. That is why I strongly support President Obama’s health care plan and the health care reform signed in to law last March."
Jobs and Economy
Excerpt: "We must create good-paying jobs, and support the millions of Americans who work hard every day to take care of their families. This means working diligently to address the immediate problems of unemployment, falling home prices and limping credit markets, while laying out a long-term plan that ensures future economic growth that benefits all Americans."
