  • "Kia is unwavering in his support for a woman’s right to choose and believes that it is never the government’s place to get between a woman and her doctor. " (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • "That means tax relief for families that need it, not tax cuts for the wealthiest amongst us." (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "I believe campaign finance reform is needed to promote a truly democratic political system in which everyone’s voice is heard. Government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, our political system has been hijacked by those who advocate for policies that serve their own gains, rather than the public good. Corporations and lobbyists should not have a greater say in our political process than everyday working families. " (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • "This means investing in America and in our workforce. It starts with a serious investment in infrastructure that will repair our country’s crumbling roads, bridges, and waterways, while also creating thousands of jobs. It means identifying opportunities to improve public transportation to alleviate the many traffic and congestion issues that we have in Orange County." (kiafororangecounty.com)

  • "That is why I support: Closing the gun show loophole and ensuring that every single person who wishes to buy a firearm in this country submits to a background check. Banning assault style weapons and high capacity magazines. Lifting the restriction that prevents the government from funding research that explores the causes and effects of gun violence. Creaing a federal database to track gun sales. Restoring the Obama Administration's rule that would have made it harder for those with a mental illness to buy a firearm. Preventing anyone convicted of domestic violence or abuse from possessing or having access to a firearm. Repealing the Tiahrt Amendment which limits law enforcement’s ability to investigate gun crimes and prosecute gun dealers. Properly funding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives so that they actually have the resources they need to enforce the gun laws already in existence. Investing in smart gun technology. Making real investments in mental health. Almost two-thirds of all gun deaths are suicides. We, as a country, continue to fail to invest in helping those with mental health issues and in making sure they do not have easy access to firearms that they can use to do harm to themselves and others." (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • "While the Affordable Care Act was an important step in the right direction, there is still a great deal of work to be done. More needs to be done to decrease the costs of copays, deductibles, premiums, and prescription drugs." (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • "Building a wall on our southern border would be nothing more than a colossal waste of money." (kiafororangecounty.com)
  • "In Congress, I will be a voice for our immigrant neighbors, I will oppose the addition of a citizenship question on the census, and I will work to abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE. This organization, founded only in 2003, is unnecessary for border protection and routinely abuses its power by detaining law-abiding Americans and ripping California families apart in the process."
