Abel Chavez is running as a Democrat in California’s 48th Congressional District, where the crowded primary is drawing attention because the top-two system could leave Democrats out of the general election. He recently laid out his policy positions in a candidate Q&A, focusing on housing costs, education, immigration, climate policy, and congressional oversight. He also said he would support abolishing ICE, expanding safety-net programs, and opposing continued U.S. military action in Iran.
