- "I believe a woman has autonomy over her own body. I also support increased funding for adoptive services across the public and non-profit sectors to increase a woman's portfolio of choices." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- "Because Bay Area residents are among the most highly taxed people in the country, it is imperative that the recently enacted tax reductions remain permanent. [â¦] Thatâs why lowering taxes on families and small businesses will be one of my highest priorities as your next Representative." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)

- "The debt continues to grow with each rushed budget compromise. It is time to reign in irresponsible spending by the federal government without sacrificing those in need of entitlements." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- " Keeping American businesses competitive in a global economy via low taxes and common sense regulation is critical to ensuring a continued stream of investment and job creation here at home." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- "At the state level, California should repeal its adoption of the Common Core standards." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)

- "Lingering on technologies that reached their prime a century ago is counterproductive to all industries but of heightened relevance to today's energy fuel sources, both in the transportation sector and in power generation." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- "While the tax credit incentives for wind and solar should be allowed to sunset, elimination of government incentives across all energy generation technologies is more fair. This should serve the double benefit of reducing the government budget while letting market forces choose the mix of winning energy sources." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- " I strongly support the increased implementation of solar, wind, hydro, and other forms of efficient, clean energy. Fuels that must be extracted and transported are naturally less competitive than fuel sources that are infinite in supply. As your Representative, I will work to move our energy infrastructure to the future instead of relying on inefficient and outdated sources of the past." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)

- "Assault weapons should be banned from the public." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- "I believe that everyone should have access to healthcare, but that nobody should be forced to buy it, especially if itâs unaffordable.

- "A sovereign nation has a right to protect its own borders and the rights of the people within them." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
- "A portion of them, such as the Dreamers and economic immigrants, deserve a path to citizenship. A portion of them, with criminal records, should be deported and penalized, not protected by political correctness. Finally, some of them are not here of their own free will but have been victimized by others. These immigrants, victims of labor and sex trafficking need our help." (www.osmenaforcongress.com)
