Campaign website
Hamilton's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ECONOMY Record inflation has eaten into the paychecks of working class people. The cost of food, everyday goods, and vital services also continue to rise. It’s time for a new direction on the economy. As your congresswoman I will fight to:
Major cities across America have seen an increase in violent crime. Victims of crime should expect justice and hardened career criminals should not be able to exploit the compassion of our justice system. As your congresswoman I will:
California needs to partner with the federal government and develop solutions to lower home prices. As your congresswoman, I’ll lead efforts to develop public-private partnerships to ensure working residents aren’t priced out of their communities and that those experiencing homelessness can be put on a path to self-sufficiency. My goal is to:
The public education system should not be used to indoctrinate students. I support the rights of parents to choose the best educational path for their children and will look for opportunities to expand school choice and promote curriculum that is inclusive, not divisive.
Americans should feel safe at home and abroad. Unfortunately, military morale is low, our foreign enemies are emboldened, and drug cartels remain a very real threat at U.S.—Mexico Border. As your congresswoman I will:
Americans should be able to choose affordable healthcare options that work best for them. As your congresswoman, I will support legislation that allows residents to buy insurance and fulfill prescription services across state lines.
Our veterans have honored their commitment to our country. It’s only right we honor our commitment to them. Veterans who honorably serve our country deserve the assurance of having full access to healthcare, medical services, and the opportunity to fully transition back into civilian life.[3] |

2020
Tamika Hamilton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2019. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hamilton's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- As your congresswoman, I'll fight to ensure our farmers have access to the water they need, and to make sure government respects hardworking taxpayers by protecting free enterprise and keeping tax rates low, stable, and fair.
- To make sure underserved communities have access to opportunities, I'll work with the federal government to expand opportunity zones to the communities of Fairfield, Suisun and West Sacramento.
- As a working woman and mother of four, I know all too well the struggles women face professionally - it's time to implement paid family leave at the federal level. I will work to get that done
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
