- "I am 100% pro-choice. Iâve always believed that a woman should be able to make her own private health and reproductive decision, in consultation with her doctor. As your next Congressional representative, I will stand up to any and all threats to a womanâs Right to Choose." (www.paulkerrforcongress.com)

- "Because of the recently passed Trump tax con, large corporations are benefiting from loopholes that allow them to avoid paying federal taxes, while getting large tax breaks for the costs incurred sending jobs overseas. In addition, this tax scam will add an estimated $1.4 to $1.8 trillion to our already-bloated national debt. This is wrong. In fact, this kind of transfer of wealth from Working Families to major corporations and the uber-wealthy is exactly whatâs wrong with professional, career, pay-to-play, Washington politicians. I will work to reverse this tax giveaway con, and close these tax loopholes." (www.paulkerrforcongress.com)
- "Long term, the only way to address income and wealth inequality in this country is to make quality education from pre-K through college, readily available to every child in America." (www.paulkerrforcongress.com)
- "By investing in clean, renewable energy, we will not only reduce climate change, but weâll also grow our economy. Green energy jobs, like those tied to the many Southern California firms focused on the green energy and clean technology sectors, will be the jobs of the future. We need to expand our support for these firms, and these jobs, by investing in subsidies and tax credits for the renewable energy industry. I believe the United States must transition to 100% renewable energy by 2045 at the latest, and I will work to pass this initiative. The time for bold action is now. Tomorrow will be too late for our children." (www.paulkerrforcongress.com)

- "I am a gun owner who believes in responsible gun ownership. Thatâs why I support universal background checks â without loopholes. We need to prevent violent felons, people on the terrorist watch list, and people who commit domestic violence from purchasing a gun. I support outlawing assault weapons and bump stocks. I served in the United States Navy and fired almost every type of gun imaginable, so I know from personal experience exactly why our streets are NO place for these weapons of war."
