Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • Economic Growth & Opportunity: It’s time for Washington to get out of the way of job creators, innovators and entrepreneurs. When we remove burdensome taxes and regulations on small businesses, and allow American families to spend and invest more of their own money, we can unleash their potential and create opportunity for all.
  • Education: For our Future: To ensure that our youth are ready to compete in the 21stcentury workforce, investment in technical and vocational training that reaches beyond the high school level must be a priority. Our nation’s economic success is dependent upon the academic success of our youth.
  • Fiscal Responsibility: Holding Government Accountable: Congress cannot continue to spend more than it takes in. If we stay on the current path of irresponsible spending, our country won’t be able to afford the promises it has made in the past and it won’t be able to pay for the investments needed for the future.
  • Social Security: Social Security is a promise made to our seniors and the disabled that must be honored by our government. They have contributed to this system their entire working years and are entitled to the benefits promised to them.
  • Preserving Agriculture: The Central Coast’s history is deeply rooted in agriculture. It’s more than just an industry; it is a culture. Family farms and ranches of the Central Coast are a driver of economic strength in our communities. Agriculture contributes over $3.8 billion dollars directly to our district’s economy. It accounts for over 40,000 jobs.

2014

Fareed's campaign website listed the following issues:[10]

“
  • Government Debt: "Our government cannot continue to spend more than it takes in. If we stay on the current fiscal path, our country won’t be able to afford the promises it’s made in the past or pay for the investments needed for the future. We need to reduce wasteful spending and Congress must come together to achieve fiscal sustainability and generational equality."
  • Environment: "As a third generation cattle rancher, I was raised to conserve resources and respect the environment while protecting private property rights. The great natural beauty of California’s Central Coast needs to be conserved without jeopardizing the economic vitality of the Central Coast’s most important industry: Agriculture."
  • Taxes: "Our current tax system is broken and needs to be simplified. Taxpayers should not be punished because Congress cannot control its spending. My focus will be on helping Main Street, not Wall Street and I will work to reduce tax rates on working families and small businesses."
  • Health Care: "Every American deserves access to quality health care at fair prices. The broken promises of Obamacare are an example of what happens when big government tries to fix a problem. I will work for health care reform that protects patient choice, keeps costs manageable, and gives everyone the ability to acquire the health care they need and the health insurance they want."
  • Immigration: "I support immigration reform that strengthens families, expands economic opportunity, and maximizes our public safety. I will support reforms that secure borders, that treat everyone in a fair and humane manner, and that maintain America’s standing as a worldwide beacon of opportunity. I support a robust, fair and enforceable guest worker program, especially for our farms and agricultural industries."
