2022
Lourin Hubbard completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hubbard's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Healthcare is a fundamental human right. No one should have to choose between buying food, medicine, or the health of their family. Yet we are forced to make those choices every day. We must ensure every American has health coverage and access to the highest quality healthcare.
- Rather than leading the world’s climate and energy policy, the U.S. has fallen behind not only our developed-world allies, but even rising powers such as China and Brazil. The Central Valley can become the leader of renewable energy for the country and lead in the green industrial revolution and create the jobs of the future.
- In order to begin to address the inequities in our communities we must have equitable access to quality education. From early education through adult education, we must build and maintain an affordable, quality education system accessible to all residents.
If I had to choose a famous person to look up to I would choose Abraham Lincoln. He faced tremendous adversity in both his professional capacity as the president presiding over a Civil War, and in his private life having dealt with the death of one son and the mental deterioration of his wife. I admire the unimaginable sacrifice and the grief that he had to endure all in devotion to his country.

Campaign website
Hubbard's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Education Quality Education for All Our students are confronting a student debt crisis and, for far too many, college is growing out of reach and apprenticeship programs are few and far between. Tackling the growing inequities in our communities starts with making sure that all of our children and young adults have access to a quality education, from pre-K and early education to all the way through college or trade and apprenticeship opportunities Where to start:
Comprehensive Immigration Reform America is a nation of immigrants. Those that immigrate to America seeking a better life for themselves and their families contribute to our national fabric and deserve to be able to live and work without fear. No human being is illegal. But politicians, both Democratic and Republican, have overseen a cruel, broken system that has allowed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) to roam through our communities, tearing families apart and putting children in cages with impunity and forcing millions of undocumented immigrants into the shadows. This must change - NOW. Where to start:
Acting on Climate and Building a Green Economy Time is running out for us to meaningfully combat the climate crisis. Scientists and experts are unanimous: we must act now. But rather than leading the world on climate, our country has fallen behind and sat on its hands for far too long. The Central Valley can become a leader in investing in renewable energy technologies, creating thousands of jobs, and ushering in a green industrial revolution for our future generations. Where to start:
A Federal Jobs Guarantee All across America and the Central Valley, there are children and seniors in need of care, bridges and roads in disrepair, under-equipped schools, and people unemployed or making starvation wages. We have work that isn't getting done and people in need of good-paying jobs. We need a federal jobs guarantee to put people to work under a union and with a living wage.
Drug Addiction and Addressing the Opioid Crisis Drug addiction is ravaging our communities here in the Valley. To resolve this crisis, we must stop seeing opioid use disorder as a crime or law enforcement issue, and begin to approach it as the medical condition that it is. Where to start:
Medicare For All Health care is a fundamental human right. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and obtaining life-saving treatments for their family. Yet too many people are forced to make those choices every day. In Congress, I won't stop fighting until every American has health coverage and access to the highest quality health care. Studies and countries such as Canada and France have shown that a single-payer, Medicare for All model can increase access, improve health outcomes, and lower costs. Where to start:
Agriculture Here in the Central Valley, farming is more than just a profession. It is a way of life for communities in the Central Valley and fundamental to our history and character. Our next Congressperson must champion our small and medium-sized family farms, allow them thrive and to be competitive, and provide them with the support and resources needed for them to be good stewards of our natural resources. Our state produces over a third of the country's vegetables and two thirds of its fruits and nuts. Here in the Central Valley, we are often called the nation's "salad bowl", a title we proudly deserve: our District is home to Fresno and Tulare Counties, which are consistently in the top ten of agricultural counties in California, hosts the largest AG Expo in the globe, and grow 78% of the almonds in the world. But for far too long, giant agribusiness has dominated both the market and agricultural policymaking, leaving our family farms behind. It is time to break up "Big Ag", end their sweetheart tax breaks, foster more competition, and put our family farms first. Where to start:
Expanding Childcare and Paid Family Leave for Working Families As child care costs soar across our District and our country, I will fight to make childcare affordable and accessible for all. Investing in our parents and kids not only is key to promoting gender equality, economic security, and successful learning outcomes for our children, but also creates thousands of jobs and supports our working families. Where to start:
Infrastucture Our nation's infrastructure is on a dire verge of collapse. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave out a "D" average in its 2021 Report Card for America's Infrastructure. Here in the Central Valley, the highways and freeways that move people and goods and sustain our economy are crumbling with cracks, potholes, and neglect. Our water systems that provide for essential recreational and drinking water, irrigation, and sewage and waste disposal are way past overdue for maintenance and upgrades. We desperately need to invest in fixing and upgrading our infrastructure to meet carbon-free standards, create millions of good-paying jobs, spur our economy, and guarantee a better future.
Affordable Housing for All Our state is confronting a major housing and homelessness crisis that politicians have failed to take seriously. Rents and prices are skyrocketing in the Valley. We need to take bold action and put every option on the table so that every American can have the right to a roof over their heads. Where to start:
