Mike Levin

Democratic Incumbent

Mike Levin presents as a pro-environment, pragmatic Democrat, but his record also shows centrist compromises, heavy ties to pro-Israel interests, and a willingness to back tougher immigration enforcement and an economy focused on maintaining the status quo. Those tradeoffs matter: they shape whose interests he defends when the pressure’s on.

  • Can be bought and sold. When your campaign is funded by wealthy special interests and Israel-aligned super PACs like AIPAC, working people don’t come first…your donors do.

  • An Establishment Democrat that’s more loyal to the party and its donors than his constituents. Acts like a safe, status-quo insider instead of fighting for all working class Americans.

  • Puts Israel ahead of America. Regularly votes to send billions in taxpayer dollars to the Israeli government while people here can’t afford rent, healthcare, or college. That’s a choice, and it’s not for us.

  • Backed the Laken Riley Act, stripping due process. He chose to support Trump’s fascist agenda of cruelty and fear over civil liberties, putting all undocumented Americans and their families directly in harm’s way.

  • Won’t take on monopolies that are jacking up prices. Instead of breaking up giant corporations and utility giants, he settles for weak rules while families keep paying more.

  • Refuses to use his office to hold corporations accountable. He could force votes and big public hearings to expose price-gouging and abuse, but instead trades fights for district dollars and quiet deals.

  • Doesn’t support a true living wage. Backs minimal wage increases that don’t keep up with the cost of living, leaving working families unable to get ahead.

  • Willing to settle for weak climate action when the crisis demands emergency-level response. Small, safe steps won’t stop fires, floods, and heat waves. Bold action would go against the party line, so he won’t push it.

  • Says banning insider trading should be our top priority, the key to “Clean Up Washington.” Yes, Congress shouldn’t trade stocks. That’s obvious. But even if they all stopped tomorrow, corporations would still write the laws, fund the campaigns, and shape the economy. Treating corruption as a moral failing hides the real problem: a system built to serve profits, not people. Stock trading is a symptom, not the disease. We need a government that prioritizes people, not corporations.

  • Puts “bipartisanship” and “civility” ahead of fighting for people. He prefers compromise to confrontation, even when compromise means handing the powerful what they want and leaving working families behind.
