Swalwell's campaign website listed the following issues:[197]

“
  • Jobs & Economy: "My top priority is to create new jobs and expand the middle class through a focus on innovation and technology. For America to create jobs and succeed in the global economy of the 21st century, the federal government must have policies that support economic growth. That means we must change our federal tax code to reward companies that create jobs in this country and not encourage any to ship jobs overseas."
  • Family Issues: "As a country, we have made strides to improve women’s rights today, but there is still a lot of work to be done. I am working to provide support and opportunities for women because when women succeed in work and at home, our economy and communities succeed."
  • Veterans: "We must strongly and unequivocally serve those who served us. We owe our troops more than words of appreciation; we owe them real actions to provide meaningful support. I will always support legislation that helps our returning service members and their families receive the care and support they have earned."
  • Seniors: "I am committed to protecting our seniors and preserving the programs that have kept so many healthy and out of poverty. I am opposed to any plan that dismantles Medicare and the guarantee of health insurance for our seniors. "
  • Transportation: "An efficient and modern transportation system keeps our local businesses competitive while improving our quality of life so that people spend less time in their cars and more time with their families."

2012

Swalwell's campaign website listed the following issues:[199]

  • Education
Excerpt: "With education, we should think globally but allow decisions to be made locally. Eric Swalwell will use his background as the founder and president of the Dublin High School Alumni Association, business background, experience in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, education policy knowledge and school leadership experience to create substantive reforms to our education system."
  • National Defense & Vets
Excerpt: "The United States plays a critical role in maintaining global peace and stability. This includes acknowledging and aiding nations moving toward democracy and open society, and increasing pressure on those who continue to support tyranny, oppression, terrorism, and instability."
  • Mobile Congress
Excerpt: "The U.S. House of Representatives was created by the Framers of our Constitution to be the legislative body most accountable to voters; from standing for election every two years to proportional representation across the states, a Member of Congress was originally envisioned to be the voice of the people."
  • Economy & Jobs
Excerpt: "America’s comeback starts with new energy and a strong resurgence in American innovation and manufacturing. China, India, Germany and other countries have lured U.S. manufacturing -- old and new industries alike – with promises of cash, free land and buildings, and other subsidies that drive job creation and profitability."
