2024 CA Senate race: on Budget & Economy
Laphonza Butler:
Equitable economy: invest in workforce development
Senator Butler is working to create an equitable and sustainable economy that works for all Americans, not just the privileged few. Ensuring access to banking services and fair credit reporting are cornerstones for building economic prosperity for
future generations, as they enable working families to achieve homeownership. She believes that workers should be free to join a union without fear of retaliation and that gig workers deserve the full benefits and protections of employment.
Senator Butler is supportive of investing in small businesses and ensuring fair access to capital, as she recognizes small businesses support working families and communities across California and the country. She strongly supports investments in
workforce development to ensure that youth are able to build lucrative careers, and she is fighting so that workers are able to retire with dignity and enjoy economic security once they leave the workforce.

Increase housing federal investments and tax credits
We must attack the increased cost of goods in each sector of our economy by addressing scarcity: Dramatically expanding our supply of affordable housing by increasing housing federal investments and tax credits,
boosting the production of renewable sources of energy, expanding the number of healthcare professionals, and increasing the supply of affordable childcare.

Steve Garvey:
Oppose new federal spending, stand up to tax increases
As a U.S. senator, reducing inflation would be my primary focus as it helps the affordability crisis facing so many hardworking families across California and the nation. A few ways to combat inflation are to oppose new federal spending, stand up
to higher tax increases and regulations that will drive up the cost of living on everyday goods and services, and streamline burdensome regulations that can stifle economic growth and increase production costs.
