Healthcare

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports protecting undocumented residents from federal immigration enforcement and opposes aggressive ICE actions. The campaign emphasizes taking an aggressive stance against ICE and measures to shield undocumented neighbors while also supporting expanded local assistance for vulnerable communities.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes disaster preparedness for climate-driven events (wildfires, heat waves) and proposes increasing funding for fire response and neighborhood-led emergency planning while supporting transit improvements in a cautious, parking-first approach. He opposes removing travel lanes or street parking for projects like Sunset for All until alternative parking is provided and favors fixing existing bike infrastructure before expanding it. Overall, policy statements stress preparedness and incremental transit changes rather than aggressive emissions-cutting or clean-energy mandates.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports increasing funding and staffing for LAPD and funding for fire and emergency services while pairing any expansion with accountability and civilian oversight; emphasizes enforcement of laws (including SB 43) and stronger emergency response as components of public safety. No explicit policy statements on firearms (assault bans, background checks, or red flag laws) were found on the campaign materials searched.
