Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports lowering taxes and opposes local tax measures such as the so-called 'mansion tax.' Policy materials emphasize reducing taxes on residents and businesses and criticize high taxes in the district.
Healthcare
The candidate’s campaign materials call for lowering the cost of living including medical costs and list addressing homelessness primarily as a mental-health issue; the site contains no detailed policy prescriptions on Medicare, the ACA, a public option, or privatization. Overall statements reference improving access and affordability but lack clear, specific proposals for how federal healthcare programs would be changed.

Immigration & Border
The candidate calls for closing the border, deporting people who are in the country illegally, and enforcing existing immigration laws. He also states support for physically securing the southern border and prioritizes stronger border security measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate states he is personally opposed to abortion on religious grounds but does not provide clear policy proposals or specific legislative positions on restricting or protecting abortion access. Public campaign materials emphasize personal opposition rather than explicit support for codifying bans or preserving broad access.
Climate & Energy
Supports market competition between renewable energy and American oil and favors allowing alternate energy sources to compete in a free market. Emphasizes market-driven approaches rather than aggressive federal climate regulation. Positions climate solutions as tied to broader political and economic reforms rather than endorsing large-scale emissions mandates or Green New Deal–style programs.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and opposes disarming them; emphasizes prosecuting criminals who use guns as the primary way to curb gun violence and expresses strong support for law enforcement.
News
Larry Thompson advanced from California's 32nd Congressional District primary and will move on to the November general election against Brad Sherman. The district is heavily Democratic, making the race the main next step in his campaign. A separate California primary story also highlights the state's top-two system and the broader fight for House seats, but Thompson's direct news is his advance to the general election.
