Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
He supports abolishing property tax and replacing that revenue with local consumption taxes, including taxes on luxury goods, marijuana, cigarettes, gambling, and alcohol. He also favors reducing corporate subsidies and deregulating small business to ease cost pressures and make the budget balance.
Healthcare
John Kulewicz has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio and Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio ACT, organizations that selected candidates based on a commitment to protecting reproductive rights and expanding access to health care. The available evidence points to support for reproductive health care access rather than broad healthcare privatization or ACA repeal.
