- What is your position on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and allowing principal reductions for homeowners? If elected or re-elected, would you consider changing this policy so they could allow principal reductions? (In addition to principal reductions for Fannie and Freddie Loans through Keep Your Home California).
- Would you push for extension of the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act which is set to expire in December 2012?
- Will you push to extend the Independent Foreclosure Review (and potentially the foreclosure refund under the Attorney General settlement) deadline so that more people can learn about it?
- Is there anything you would change with current system of modifications, short-sales, and foreclosures?
- Do you think we have put adequate policies in place to prevent another mortgage meltdown and foreclosure crisis?
