"Restore Inflation Reduction Act funding to ensure East Bay leads in clean energy innovation, electric vehicles (EVs), and home efficiency."

"Energy production needs to move away from old technology (fossil fuels) to new."

"Carin supports all efforts to reduce 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) in our water and improve climate resiliency. The EPA is reversing limits on four specific PFAS chemicals (PFHxS, PFNA, GenX, and PFBS) and extending compliance deadlines for PFOA/PFOS from 2029 to 2031. This removes critical protections for millions of people exposed to dangerous levels of PFAS."

"Energy needs are great. Energy production needs to move away from old technology (fossil fuels) to new."

"Remove broad tariffs that function as hidden taxes on East Bay families. Restore trade stability with partners like Canada and Mexico. Lower costs on everything from building materials to kitchen essentials."

"Trump's random rollout of tariffs on foreign trading partners has led to massive uncertainty in the marketplace and prices for everyday purchases to skyrocket. Carin believes that if President Trump wants to use tariff policy to return manufacturing to the U.S., he needs to work with Congress to achieve this."

"Trump's random rollout of tariffs on foreign trading partners has led to massive uncertainty in the marketplace and prices for everyday purchases to skyrocket. Prices have increased in nearly all areas, from housing to groceries, and local businesses cannot plan when they don't know the true costs. Reclaiming control over tariff policy is key. Carin believes that if President Trump wants to use tariff policy to return manufacturing to the U.S., he needs to work with Congress to achieve this. Restoring good trade relations with neighbors is a priority."

"Carin will focus on incentives that balance AI-driven growth with investments in infrastructure, leading to exponential job growth. This should be coupled with do-no-harm policies to protect local economies."

"For immediate relief, Carin supports a reversal on funding cuts to ACA subsidies."

"Carin supports a phased-in expansion of Medicare, moving the qualifying age to 64, then 63, etc. Healthcare premiums would be based on age and income, but moving more Americans to the single payer model would be progress."

"She has the professional literacy to move the U.S. from a purely for-profit healthcare model to an expanded choice model in which affordable healthcare is an option."

"Realign healthcare systems that prioritize patient outcomes and affordability over corporate dividends and stockholder profits."

"Carin supports ongoing efforts by Democrats in the House to withhold funding from ICE until significant reforms are accepted. These include no masks, no unmarked cars, no racial profiling, real training, an end to warrant-less entry, and no roving patrols."

"Carin supports the bipartisan Dignity Act of 2025 (H.R. 4393), co-sponsored by Representative Maria Salazar and Representative Veronica Escobar. The bipartisan proposal offers legal status, not direct citizenship, while significantly boosting border security."

"Carin supports 1.) shifting immigration enforcement funds ($409B) to the immigration court system (currently set to $840M) and 2.) review of enforcement spending; approx. $45 billion has been set aside for detention infrastructure, largely benefitting private, for-profit prison companies GEO Group and CoreCivic."

"Comprehensive immigration reform has been a rally-the-base issue for years. Congress needs to find a bipartisan solution that focuses on relief for families who seek permanent status."

"The bipartisan proposal offers legal status, not direct citizenship, while significantly boosting border security."

"Carin will fight to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. It defends against inequitable voting practices by restoring and modernizing the full protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965."

"Carin strongly supports the Amendment. If elected, she will join the ERA Caucus and work timelessly toward gaining support for resolutions that remove a 1972 seven-year time limit which legal scholars argue is invalid."
