Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports maintaining the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and preserving Opportunity Zones as tools to drive investment and jobs in Stockton, indicating a pro-tax-cut, pro-growth tax approach.
Healthcare
Kevin Lincoln has said he will not support a federal abortion ban and has framed border security as a public‑health and public‑safety issue; he has not published a detailed, comprehensive federal healthcare platform in the sources located. Available statements address reproductive policy and public‑health concerns tied to immigration rather than clear positions on coverage, Medicare/Medicaid, or ACA reforms.

Immigration & Border
Supports securing the southern border and stronger enforcement to address public-safety concerns (including fentanyl trafficking) while saying people living in the country illegally should be returned and allowed to reenter through legal channels; he opposed mass family-separating deportations.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate describes himself as pro‑life while supporting exceptions for rape, incest, and the health of the mother, and has said he would not go to Washington to support a federal abortion ban. His stated view favors returning authority to the states rather than codifying a national ban.
Climate & Energy
Public records from Kevin Lincoln’s time as Stockton mayor include general references to sustainability, green job training, and participation in city climate and energy planning, but his campaign materials and public addresses do not lay out concrete federal climate policy proposals (e.g., emissions targets, Green New Deal–style plans, or explicit support for/against major fossil-fuel policies).
Public Safety & Guns
Emphasizes public safety through support for law enforcement and removing illegal guns from streets while focusing on reducing gun violence; frames solutions around policing and community interventions rather than new broad gun bans. Campaign materials and local reporting cite his work as mayor on getting guns off streets and investing in public safety.
