Obama endorsement

During the 2016 election cycle Applegate was one of the candidates endorsed by President Barack Obama

Full list of Obama's 2016 endorsements

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

  • ISIS and the Middle East: Congress keeps ducking its responsibilities to debate and vote on war/AUMF against ISIS in Syria & Iraq. While Republicans continue to insist that our allies don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us, the Republicans who control Congress, fear that a high-profile debate followed by a failed vote to authorize use of military force would display a disastrous public division, just like they were embarrassed in 2013 when a Republican led Congress failed to authorize airstrikes against President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.
  • Gun rights and safety: Sandy Hook and the 372 U.S. mass shootings in 2015 are America's darkest failures since President Obama took office. Background checks alone and the NRA's myth of a good guy with a gun would have stopped only a small fraction of these shootings, less than 3% according to the FBI. "Armed for Combat-Armed for life" speaks to the Armed Forces required training and combat range qualification.
  • Economy: Save the economy and the middle class without deficit spending, with gender pay and healthcare equality. End Wall Street’s bribery of Congress; Congress needs to stop Wall Street and casino bankers who gamble with Federal insured deposits making taxpayers cover their losses. Make America’s economy secure and great with wise investments to build the world’s best transportation, communications and a fully integrated renewable energy program across the nation.
  • Immigration: Stop less 25% of Congress from blocking effective legislation like the 2013 bipartisan immigration bill, by ending the Hastert rule particularly since Hastert pled guilty to Federal hush-money charges linked to allegations of sexual misconduct with his minor students.[3]
