Kevin Mullin, statement on January 22, 2026, from https://kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/01/22/rep-mullin-will-vote-no-on-department-of-homeland-security-ice-funding/”

““I am outraged that two Planned Parenthood clinics in my district have been forced to close due to President Trump and Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid.

Representative Kevin Mullin emphasizes that climate change is a significant challenge impacting communities and biodiversity, advocating for a direct approach to protect the environment and ensure a livable future. He co-introduced the Standardized Calculation of Operational Polluting Emissions (SCOPE) Act to promote corporate emissions transparency.

“Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our lifetime. My constituents in CA15, and communities around the country, are experiencing its impacts right now. Sea-level rise, flooding, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are threatening the destruction of biodiversity across our planet. As a lifelong resident of the Peninsula, I understand the severity and urgency of the crisis. And as a proud father of two boys, I understand the gravity and immediacy of ensuring a livable future for our children. That’s why I believe we must confront the climate crisis head-on to protect our communities and the environment. (Rep. Kevin Mullin, kevinmullin.house.gov/issues/energy-and-environment/)”

Kevin Mullin supports reasserting congressional war powers, advocating for decisions regarding declarations of war to go through elected representatives. He opposes unauthorized military actions, specifically mentioning those in Iran and Venezuela, and seeks to repeal the 2002 and 1991 authorizations for the use of military force. Additionally, he voted against Department of Homeland Security and ICE funding, and introduced articles of impeachment against the Homeland Security Secretary following the killing of an unarmed individual by ICE.

“Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants the power to declare war to Congress only, and it is crucial that Congress maintains its preeminent authority in this area. The American people ought to have a voice in decisions regarding declarations of war through their representatives and senators. That is why I strongly support repealing the 2002 and 1991 authorizations for use of military force, which authorized America’s invasion of Iraq and involvement in the Gulf War respectively. (Rep. Kevin Mullin, on his website, kevinmullin.house.gov/issues/foreign-policy/)”
