Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate has expressed opposition to new or higher local taxes and favors spending cuts and pension reform to address budget shortfalls. He has argued that sales and targeted business taxes hurt small businesses and working-class residents and has called for living within means rather than raising taxes. These statements indicate a preference for lower taxes and reduced government spending.
Healthcare
Publicly available materials from the candidate are limited on federal healthcare policy. Past local campaign statements (Santa Monica city council run) expressed concern about rising healthcare costs and supported asking public employees to contribute more toward their healthcare and pension benefits, but there are no clear, detailed positions on ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, a public option, or single-payer at the federal level in the sources found.
