Mike Levin — Democrat Candidate for U.S. House in California, 2026

Rep. Mike Levin voted against the Fiscal Year 2026 government and Homeland Security funding bills due to a lack of accountability and guardrail policies for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He believes federal agencies must operate professionally, lawfully, and transparently, respecting constitutional rights. Levin supports comprehensive immigration reform, including stronger border security, asylum process reforms, and an earned path to citizenship. He has co-sponsored the DIGNITY Act and the Dream and Promise Act, and opposes policies discriminating based on race or religion.

““Congress cannot continue writing blank checks to any federal agency that fails to meet basic standards of accountability, transparency, and respect for constitutional rights. My position is simple: federal agencies must follow the law and operate transparently. Until meaningful safeguards are in place, I will not support funding that enables ICE to operate without proper oversight.” — Rep. Mike Levin, Statement on 2026 Homeland Security funding bill.”

Rep. Mike Levin supports extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits to prevent health insurance premium rate hikes. He states that without these extensions, costs could significantly increase, forcing individuals to choose between health care and other necessities. Levin is actively pushing for the inclusion of these tax credit extensions in any government funding deals to ensure continued access to affordable health insurance. He also highlighted rising healthcare costs for Americans in his critique of a State of the Union address.

“"He said nothing about an economy that’s squeezing people dry, about health care costs rising for 22 million Americans..." (Mike Levin, Statement on President Trump’s State of the Union, February 25, 2026)”

Rep. Mike Levin, a clean energy advocate, serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

He also co-chairs the Spent Nuclear Fuel Solutions Caucus, supporting the Nuclear Waste Administration Act of 2024 for low-carbon energy.

He emphasizes that reproductive choices should be made by a woman, her family, and her doctor. Levin proudly cosponsored and voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe v. Wade protections into law. He is endorsed by Population Connection Action Fund for his pro-choice stance.

“I will always stand for women’s health, including access to contraception and the right to make one’s own reproductive choices. Only a woman, her family and her doctor should be able to decide what is best for her health. I was proud to cosponsor and vote for the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe vs. Wade protections into law, and the Senate must act on that bill.” — Mike Levin, The Los Angeles Times, October 13, 2022”
