Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports economic growth through strengthening the tax base, helping small businesses, and ‘responsible budgeting’ with transparency and waste reduction rather than proposing tax increases. Emphasizes partnering with residents, businesses, and developers to expand opportunity and jobs to boost local revenue. No explicit proposals for major tax hikes or progressive wealth taxes were found in campaign materials reviewed.

Healthcare

The candidate emphasizes expanding mental-health services, wraparound care for people experiencing homelessness, and stronger crisis response (including unarmed responders and coordination with county mental-health programs). The campaign frames health-related policy primarily around improving access to behavioral health services and integrating services with housing and homelessness interventions at the local level.

Climate & Energy

The candidate emphasizes local economic recovery, housing, public safety, and community services and notes involvement with environmental causes, but does not present clear, specific climate or energy policies such as emissions targets, fossil‑fuel phaseout, or clean‑energy programs in publicly available campaign materials. Available public statements are general and focus on neighborhood revitalization rather than detailed climate or energy proposals.

Public Safety & Guns

Dylan Kendall supports strengthening public safety through rebuilding the LAPD to around 9,500 officers and stricter enforcement of anti-camping laws while pairing enforcement with offers of shelter and treatment. Her campaign materials and voter guides emphasize enforcement and investment in police staffing and public-safety measures rather than defunding or major policing rollbacks.
