U.S. Presidential Candidate Statements

California Elections Code section 9084 requires that presidential candidate information be made available on the California Secretary of State's website.


Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | AMERICAN INDEPENDENT

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president as an independent to end the corrupt merger of big corporations and government and to fix the broken two-party system. To heal our crippling partisan divide, Kennedy proposes a “unity government” in which voices from all parties are represented.

As president, Kennedy will end costly foreign wars and reinvest the trillions saved here at home to restore the middle class. He has plans to: 1) redirect 20% of government contracts away from corporations (that offshore our economy) into small businesses, creating millions of jobs; 2) offer a new GI Bill to anyone willing to serve their community in our domestic Peace Corps, providing volunteers with assets to pay their way through college, put a down payment on a home, or start a business; 3) assist homebuyers with government-guaranteed 3% mortgages; and 4) cap childcare at 10% of income to make parenthood affordable for Americans.

Kennedy has a robust plan to secure the southern border and end the humanitarian and national security crisis there, which is crippling towns and cities in Arizona and across the U.S.

He will address the epidemic of drug addiction with innovative solutions that promote real recovery. He will end the epidemic of chronic illness in our country, especially among our children.

Mr. Kennedy would like to thank the new leadership of the American Independent Party of California for placing his name on the ballot.

Claudia De la Cruz

Claudia De la Cruz | PEACE AND FREEDOM

The genocidal assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza is being armed and supported by Democratic and Republican leaders alike. My campaign has been in the streets with millions demanding a ceasefire an end to U.S. arming of Israel and a "Free Palestine!"

Today, we are experiencing many crises - climate catastrophe, massive job losses, homelessness, huge health costs, threat of war against China - and more. The capitalist-controlled government has no answers to these crises, and instead acts a servant of the capitalist corporations.

The working class is the vast majority. We, not the billionaires, make society run - without us nothing moves. Yet we are unrepresented - there are virtually no workers in government at any level. The majority of people are also living paycheck to paycheck, and the cost of everything has skyrocketed. The five richest men in the U.S. have as much wealth as the bottom 50% - 170 million people. They didn't "earn" that wealth, they stole it! Capitalism cannot be reformed. It is a system driven by maximizing profit regardless of cost to humanity. It promotes racism, sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia to keep us divided.

We need a new system. a socialist system, where the working class holds power and uses it to meet the needs of the people in a sustainable way.

My campaign is part of the growing movement for real change. Join us! Vote YES on Prop 6 – end prison slavery in California! Register and vote Peace and Freedom Party! Vote Socialist 2024!

Kamala D. Harris

Kamala D. Harris | DEMOCRATIC

Vice President Harris is a fighter for the people. From her days as a prosecutor to her service as Vice President, she has defended the rights of Americans by standing up to predators, scammers, and powerful interests. She has been fearless in taking on anyone who threatens our rights and freedoms.

As a prosecutor, she put murderers and abusers behind bars, standing up for women and children. As California Attorney General, she cracked down on transnational gangs trafficking drugs and guns across the border to make communities safer. She also took on the big banks that committed mortgage fraud, winning back billions in relief for homeowners. As a Senator and Vice President, she took on the big drug companies to cap the cost of insulin for seniors and leads the fight to restore reproductive freedom. She has also advanced America’s interests on the world stage, including by taking on Russian leader Vladimir Putin and standing with NATO.

As president, she would make strengthening the middle class a defining goal of her presidency. She will confront price gouging, work to lower costs, and expand opportunity so that every American has the chance to not just get by, but get ahead. And she will continue fighting to restore our freedoms, from the right to breathe clean air and drink clean water, to the freedom to be safe from gun violence.

Chase Oliver

Chase Oliver | LIBERTARIAN

As I visited all 50 states over the past 18 months with my amazing VP nominee, Mike Ter Maat, I heard from voters who doubt they can chase their dreams. I aspire to change that mindset.

Inflation is robbing us of our potential. Government overspending and reckless money printing fuels skyrocketing costs.

By slashing spending and balancing the budget, we can crush inflation and strengthen the economy, allowing people to afford groceries and housing, and even start their own small businesses.

Let’s remove government obstacles and help our nation thrive again.

I am anti-war to the core. I will end wars and bring the troops home. We must end drone strikes and military interventions while championing free trade and international goodwill.

I will end the Justice Department’s abuses and pardon all individuals imprisoned for victimless crimes, starting with Edward Snowden and Ross Ulbricht.

Our broken criminal justice system needs a significant overhaul. We must dismantle the prison-industrial complex, end the failed War on Drugs, and eliminate qualified immunity for police.

I am running for president on the Libertarian message that if you’re not harming anyone: Your life should be your life, your body should be your body, your property should be your property, and your business should be your business. It shouldn't be mine, and it shouldn’t be the government’s.

Donald J. Trump

Donald J. Trump | REPUBLICAN

I left behind my former life because I could not sit by and watch career politicians continue bleeding this country dry and allow other nations to take advantage of us on trade, borders, foreign policy, and national defense. As President, I took on every powerful special interest, fixing globalist trade deals, ending foreign wars, securing the border, and standing up to Big Pharma and China. Together, we put America First and returned power to the American People.

The corrupt government cartel is once again destroying our country. We are a nation that has declared war on hard-working Americans. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, crime is rampant like never before, terrorists are invading our southern border, and the economy is in a recession. We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, and faith.

Our populist movement to Make America Great Again is the only force on earth that will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. I will unleash American energy, renew the Trump tax cuts, repeal stifling government regulations and stop wasteful spending.

Together, we created the greatest American economy in history and together we will do it again. We will create unprecedented opportunities for all Americans through explosive economic growth.

We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, stopping the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing inflation by restoring America's prosperity.

Jill Stein

Jill Stein | GREEN

The political system is broken. The two Wall Street parties are bought and paid for. Both are abandoning working people, neglecting housing, healthcare and education, worsening the climate crisis and squandering trillions on the endless war machine.

Over 60% of us now say the two-party system has failed and we need a party that serves the people. I’m running to offer that choice: a pro-worker, anti-war, climate action campaign on the ballot nationwide.

As a people-powered campaign, we reject the corrupting money from corporations, super PACs, billionaires and special interests. So we have the liberty to truly fight for an economy that works for working people, with a $25 per hour minimum wage, universal healthcare through Medicare for All, national rent control, the right to affordable housing, free public higher education, a bailout for student and medical debt; an end to mass incarceration and police violence; reparations for descendants of enslaved people, and more.

We can create a Green New Deal with millions of jobs to fight climate collapse and protect Mother Earth.

We can end endless war and launch a foreign policy based on diplomacy and international law.

We can end the genocide in Palestine through a weapons boycott and compliance with the International Court of Justice.

We can revive our democracy and ensure our rights, freedoms, and justice for all.

We have the power and we can use it in 2024 to start building an America and a world that works for all of us!
