Lozada's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
Safer Streets
- Excerpt: "We need to invest more in our community policing initiative, which targets “hot spot” areas that attract crime and stress community awareness and teamwork with the police department to empower citizens to take back their respective neighborhoods."
Better Schools
- Excerpt: "As a state legislator, I will support programs such as vouchers that give families the freedom to educate their children as they see fit, and offer a real alternative for underprivileged families who seek to give their children a chance to succeed."
More Jobs
- Excerpt: "My plan is to incentivize job creation by offering tax credits to bring manufacturers to the region who offer the local community employment opportunities. By raising the minimum wage we will also be incentivizing unemployed members of our community to join the work force and earn a decent wage that can support them and their households. Training and a labor policy can lead to the reduction or the elimination of poverty."
