Campaign website

Cohen’s campaign website stated the following:

Solve The Border Crisis
Cohen will address the border crisis like cancer, intending to treat & avert the pain of the disease from spreading, until the cure is legislated. Doing nothing, or applying triage, hasn't worked. The cancer has continued to grow and multiply. Cohen believes processing centers should be within immigrant borders, not America's, and should not wait until immigrants arrive on US soil. Be proactive. If we can get McDonalds in almost every country, why not processing centers? Why wait until barbed wire is cut, tunnels are dug, and encampments enlarged? District 20's cities cannot absorb the influx.

Put People First
Anna Zoe Cohen will represent her constituents and do the work that is needed. Elected officials have lost sight of representative government, and instead, look for stardom, book deals, and media coverage. They have lost the connectivity of the statement, “we the people”. Cohen will read the bills, be there to vote, represent District 20, and address the peoples' central valley concerns. Water, oil, inflation, agriculture, the working class, and young lives will all be protected. Cohen knows sensible family values produce crops of sustainable communities.

Positive Change
America's position in the world, should be one of strength, endurance, and respectability. Anna Zoe Cohen will act with knowledge and respond with integrity. She knows the dangers of erasing America's past, and instead, has chosen to embrace the future. Cohen will fix longstanding issues with positive new changes, instead of trying to rewrite history. Her forward-thinking policies are ones of relevance and care. The Constitution is not just a piece of paper, but instead a symbol of hope and progression. Cohen will embrace what her constituents stand for, as Americans, and as citizens of District 20. Stand for something, or fall for everything.[2]
