- "The reproductive rights of women have been under fire by the Republican Party for decades. Funding for reproductive health clinics is under attack, and as recently as 2019 multiple states have attempted to pass near-total abortion bans. This is unacceptable. Every American is entitled to the right to decide what happens with their body, and I will do everything in my power to defend the right." (chrisfinkforcongress.com)
- "Make the tax code more progressive for individuals. The current tax brackets are well below what we have seen over the last 50 years, and this will reduce the burden on folks who have been out of work due to COVID-19" (chrisfinkforcongress.com)

- "I would propose to create a new workforce, hired, educated and trained to build and repair our infrastructure both locally and across our country. We can do this as a joint venture with local and national private companies who have the expertise and capital to do so but who also want to give back to their communities. The workers who join this effort will acquire new skills that will guarantee them employment opportunities for the rest of their lives and we will all benefit from their efforts and skills. The federal government can support these efforts through loan programs, educational seminars, training and direct investment." (chrisfinkforcongress.com)

- "Every single gun owner should be required to pass an extensive background check in order to purchase a gun, including guns purchased in private sales, on the internet, at gun shows and transfers upon the death of a registered owner.
