The following issues were listed on Ramirez's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, here.

  • Education: For all students to learn and achieve success in their endeavors, students from Pre- K through Fourth Grade need to be taught the basics: English, Reading, Mathematics and Science.
  • Jobs: I would reform business policies and laws and give incentives to local, national, and international companies as to corporate taxes and financial support.
  • Immigration: I hope that people would understand that we should welcome immigrants who are well trained and can contribute to expanding our economy base. Those who come to work and decide to become citizens should be given credit for their work ethics
  • Veterans: We must ensure that our veterans receive the benefits, services, and respect they have earned. Our country, United States of America, is prosperous and free because military veterans have sacrificed their lives for all of us. We are a powerful nation for democracy around the world because men and women of the military have stood to defend and protect our families.
  • Environment: Conserving water is a crucial part of everyday life. To protect quality of life and enjoy personal savings all at once follow some simple steps: read your water meter, conserve water outdoors (up to 70% of residential water use is outdoors), conserve water outdoors with a water-smart landscape, and conserve water indoors by checking for leaks in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry.
