Rep. Mike Levin contends Republican opponent is not “pro-choice” as he maintains.
Republican congressional candidate Matt Gunderson’s first campaign television ad focused on abortion.
The Levin ad also states Gunderson had been endorsed in a previous campaign by the California Pro-Life Council, “which opposes all abortions with no exceptions,” and that Planned Parenthood endorsed Levin.That is the abortion position of former President Donald Trump and what the reality has been since the Supreme Court two years ago overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that gave constitutional protection to abortion rights.
The 49th Congressional District straddles the San Diego-Orange County line along the coast, and includes some communities farther inland. It seems as purple a district as they come, with Democrats having just a 2.6 percent advantage in voter registration over Republicans, with 22 percent of voters declaring “no party preference.”Both candidates claim the political middle ground, while their opponent paints them as either an extreme liberal or an extreme conservative .
The 49th is considered competitive, but isn’t usually mentioned among the top battleground districts in California, or across the nation, that could determine which party holds the House majority.Abortion may have dominated recent advertisements, but during an hour-plus forum in Oceanside on Monday the two candidates spent most of the time sparring on a plethora of other issues, with abortion coming up only at the end.Taxes: Gunderson supported extending the Trump tax cuts.
Inflation: Gunderson blamed inflation on regulations and other actions supported by Levin and the Biden-Harris administration. He suggested cutting taxes and red tape, among other things, to improve the economy. Levin noted inflation has dropped dramatically, but acknowledged many prices are still too high. He said certain corporations have to be held accountable for what he called unreasonable profits and that some companies should no longer get tax breaks.
