Campaign website
Chen's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Equality for All We are all created equal and must be treated as such by our government. We must root out racial discrimination wherever it exists, especially in government and publicly funded institutions. I will fight any attempt to cut corners around the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Artificial Intelligence Congress needs to make sure we can reap the positive benefits of AI while protecting our privacy and civil liberties. Inflation Crime Nobody can feel truly free if they don’t feel safe. As a former Public Safety Commissioner and graduate of the San Ramon’s Citizens Police Academy, maintaining public safety will always be a top priority for me. Energy As we transition to more renewable energy sources, we must do so without unfairly putting most of the burden on working people who need energy to drive the trucks, work the fields and produce the goods and services (especially food) that all of us depend on everyday. The country that put men on the moon in the 20th century can produce the energy it needs to prosper in the 21st while preserving our beautiful planet. Immigration At the same time, our government has a responsibility to keep our borders secure in preventing illegal drugs, violent gangs and human traffickers from entering into our country. Only by protecting against threats both foreign and domestic can we preserve the freedoms that Americans enjoy.[2] |
