Camacho's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]
Affordable housing
- Excerpt: "The definition of "Affordable" has changed, but the people who require secure, stable housing remain in the struggle to find a place to call HOME. Let's work together to build creative solutions in a District that has the most potential for housing stock opportunities."
Economic opportunity
- Excerpt: "Who Gets Jobs? Who Can Open a Business? Who Can Purchase Property or Invest in the District? The answer should be EVERYONE. District 7 needs a balanced progressive standard by which we PROMOTE New Opportunities... but not at the expense of those who have a longstanding vested interest such as our residents and small businesses."
Education
- Excerpt: "We can create a fully funded, public first, K-12 system within a competitive marketplace where parents have true choice. We create real job training skills for youth and adults to be best equipped for college and the workforce. We can hold ALL institutions of higher learning responsible for giving our District reasonable consideration in both education, internships and jobs as a return on investment for their footprint in our communities."
People first perspective
- Excerpt: "Poverty, Helplessness from Lack of Opportunity & Health Disorders are NOT a crimes... but one's response in dealing with these issues may become one. Community Development must focus on the People with proactive attention to the the [sic] things that we KNOW are the foundational blocks that create success."
