Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

Trade promotion authority
On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211.

Campaign themes
2014
According to Dold's website, his campaign themes included:[74]
- Creating Jobs Now
- Excerpt: "Creating quality jobs requires a marriage of two basic components — the fostering of a pro-business environment that attracts employers to invest in our communities, and an education system that is in tune with those businesses and the skills needed for the jobs of today. When either of these components falls short, we end up with a skills gap between those seeking work and available jobs."
- Leadership in the World
- Excerpt: "The 10th District has a history and tradition of a thoughtful global outlook and special appreciation for the positive role American leadership can, and must, play in the world. We expect strong leadership from our representatives in Washington on foreign affairs and national security, and this is a responsibility that I embrace, as I believe we must focus on human rights, the rights of women across the globe, confronting Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and standing up against any attempted de-legitimization of Israel in the international community."
- Better Healthcare
- Excerpt: "The healthcare debate has devolved well away from a discussion of how we ensure better access to quality care, to an entrenched political exercise in which you’re either “for” or “against” the Affordable Care Act. I believe this to be not a constructive dialogue, and choose not to view healthcare this way. Instead, I believe we all need to step away from the current debate and have a bipartisan discussion about how we want our healthcare system to look in the future – what incentives for innovation, efficiencies, and cures we want to ensure, how we address costs, and how we ensure that there is no interference in the very personal relationship between a patient and physician."
- Making Immigration Work
- Excerpt: "As the descendent of immigrants with deep roots in our community, for me, fixing America’s broken immigration system isn’t about politics. Immigrants from across the globe – from all backgrounds, ethnicities, races and religions – built this country and grew it into the greatest country the world has ever seen. America’s success as a nation is inseparable from the rich tradition of robust immigration that defined much of our history."
- Education
- Excerpt: "An educated workforce is the foundation of a strong economy and a prosperous nation. Especially during an economic downturn, education is the beacon that will guide us to a better future, help Americans get back to work, and equip future generations to lead. Local control, rather than federal mandates, is a driving theme of my education perspective. I believe parents, educators, and local administrators are best equipped to make decisions that impact their local schools and their local students."
- Budget, Deficit and Taxes
- Excerpt: "The success of our economy hinges on how we handle our nation’s increasing deficit. Good governing is about making tough, but responsible choices to put our country’s economy back on track. The budget deficit can only be reduced with a multi-faceted approach that includes cutting annual government spending, identifying additional savings opportunities and creating an equitable system that will balance the budget and forge a sustainable fiscal path for our economic future."
- Energy Security
- Excerpt: "For too long we have allowed the issues of energy production and consumption to become political and we are paying the price. The United States has an energy reliance problem that must be solved and we can solve it here in this country. We rely on energy from abroad to power our transportation and manufacturing needs, and do so at our own peril as the money we pay for those resources flows outside our borders, often to regimes that not only do not hold our best interest in mind, but who turn around and use the money to then buy U.S. Treasuries to subsidize our national debt."
- A Clean Environment
- Excerpt: "As an Eagle Scout and an avid outdoorsman, I know firsthand the critical importance of strong conservation programs and bedrock environmental programs that protect our nation’s vast natural lands and resources. I have been a leader on the environment and fought for clean air, clean water, land and water conservation programs, the protection of our national parks, and of endangered species. Twice I have been honored to receive recognition for my efforts by the Wilderness Society, Sierra Club, and National Conservation Lands Foundation with the “America’s Great Outdoors Congressional Champion Award.” "
- Social Issues
- Excerpt: "As a husband and father of two girls, and a brother of three sisters, the issue of protecting women’s healthcare decisions is one that is particularly close to me. Healthcare is a very personal matter that I believe best lies with a woman and her physician, and should not be dictated by the government. Protecting a woman’s right to choose is critical and I have a strong record of safeguarding women’s healthcare rights (and protecting their right to choose) during my time in Congress."
