Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes lowering costs and improving government efficiency, advocates bringing industry and jobs back to Los Angeles, and characterizes local taxes as high relative to services; policy focus is on economic mobility, workforce development, reducing bureaucratic burden, and using technology to cut costs. These positions indicate a pro-business, pro-efficiency approach that favors reducing burdens on businesses and improving fiscal effectiveness rather than proposing tax increases or expanded redistribution.
Climate & Energy
The campaign emphasizes improving climate resiliency and preparing the city for disasters, and frames climate-related work primarily in the context of emergency preparedness and infrastructure resilience. The campaign platform does not lay out detailed policies on emissions reduction, fossil fuel phase-out, or specific clean-energy programs.
