Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate emphasizes fiscal restraint, government accountability, and cutting wasteful spending rather than expanding costly new programs. Policy priorities include performance audits, competitive bidding, cutting or terminating ineffective programs, regulatory relief and lower burdens for small businesses, and audits of utilities and pandemic/ disaster spending; no explicit proposals to raise taxes or expand progressive taxation are stated. The campaign frames taxpayer protection and limiting rate or fee increases unless tied to demonstrated efficiency.

Healthcare

The candidate opposes expanding government programs and emphasizes a treatment-first, performance-based approach to homelessness and related mental health and addiction services, prioritizing accountability and contracting for outcomes rather than expanding city-run programs.

Immigration & Border

The candidate supports active cooperation with federal immigration enforcement (ICE) and opposes Los Angeles’s sanctuary city approach, emphasizing removal of individuals he calls threats to public safety. His public statements and past activism have advocated for sealing the U.S.–Mexico border and stronger enforcement measures.

Climate & Energy

Emphasizes utility accountability, grid resilience, and infrastructure hardening while prioritizing ratepayer protection and streamlined, market-oriented responses to disasters and rebuilding; does not endorse aggressive emissions targets or Green New Deal–style policies in available campaign materials. Policy messaging focuses on auditing LADWP, preventing wasteful spending, and tying any rate increases to demonstrated efficiency and service improvements. Emergency preparedness and faster permitting for rebuilding are framed as priorities over expanding new costly programs.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate emphasizes restoring public safety by prioritizing frontline policing over defund-style approaches, recruiting and retaining officers, and holding repeat offenders accountable while supporting prosecution of retail theft and organized criminal activity. The campaign rejects defunding police and calls for stronger enforcement and accountability for law enforcement leadership. Public safety messaging frames cooperation with federal authorities and tough enforcement of violent crime as central priorities.
