The Obama administration has its sights set on immigration reform, raising the minimum wage and implementing gun control, initiatives Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett said Thursday are all achievable on some level this year.

"We're going to work with Congress wherever we can," Jarrett said at the Skybridge Capital SALT 2014 hedge fund conference in Las Vegas. "There's still an enormous amount that we want to get done."

Of the goals she listed, immigration reform was the one to which she devoted the most time and expressed the highest level of confidence that something can get done.

Jarrett said a coalition of political groups, law enforcement and religious leaders has banded to push a bill that she said could get passed over the summer.
