Positions
Immigration & Border
The candidate lists “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” as a key issue on his campaign website but provides no detailed policy prescriptions or clear enforcement vs. humanitarian priorities. Public materials emphasize national security and public safety in his biography but do not state concrete immigration or border policies. Based on available campaign materials, his position on immigration is vague and lacks specific proposals.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Michael Koslow is aligned with pro-life organizations and has been endorsed by groups that recommend candidates who oppose abortion; his public materials and endorsements indicate support for restrictions on abortion access. There is no clear public evidence he advocates for an unrestricted or fully near-total ban, but available endorsements and voter guides place him in the pro-restriction/pro-life camp.
News
Michael Koslow is running in the open California 26th Congressional District race, which is drawing attention because incumbent Julia Brownley is retiring. He is one of the candidates in the June 2 primary, where the top two finishers will advance to the November general election. Recent coverage has focused on the candidates’ debate and their positions on issues like immigration, climate change, the federal deficit, healthcare, and the war in Iran.
