- "It is more critical than ever that Congress acts to protect womenâs health, safety, and economic future with states like Texas passing laws to essentially outlaw abortion and criminalize women, and the Supreme Court reviewing Roe v. Wade. Access to a safe and legal abortion is a fundamental health care right." (www.votekarin.com)

- "When police officers violate a communityâs trust, we must hold them accountable. In Congress, Iâll advocate for community-based alternatives to policing, and ensure that we pass reforms to create environments where our kids are safe and our police can be trusted. We need more body cameras to document interactions and promote greater training. And we must encourage the hiring of officers who look like the communities they serve, and get them out of their cars so they get to know the people they protect." (www.votekarin.com)

- "In Congress, I will work to get illegal guns off the streets, require background checks for every purchase, and stop the proliferation of ghost guns." (twitter.com)
- "Gun violence is robbing an entire generation of youth of their future. We must get illegal guns off the streets, require background checks for every purchase, and stop the proliferation of "ghost guns,"â guns that are sold in pieces off the internet or 3-D printed without a serial number. I support banning all civilians from having military-grade weapons." (www.votekarin.com)
- "Health care and prescription drugs are just too expensive, and access to care is highly inequitable depending upon where you live and what you look like. We must explore any number of policies to fix this problem, whether itâs strengthening the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), expanding Medicare to include younger folks, or creating a public option to create competition which lowers costs for everyone."
