DOWNEY, Calif. (AP) â Republican candidate for governor Kevin Faulconer wants to eliminate California s state income tax for individuals making up to $50,000 and households up to $100,000 as part of a proposal to make the state more affordable for families and the middle class.
Faulconer, a former two-term San Diego mayor, also attempted to regain the GOP spotlight from two of his main Republican opponents, John Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, who have garnered more recent attention.
A governor has limited power to reduce taxes unilaterally, so Faulconer would need approval from the state Legislature to enact his plan. If he wins the recall, he would take office with Democratic supermajorities in the Assembly and Senate. Faulconer, who worked with a Democrat-majority City Council in San Diego, said he’d seek to win legislative support by first getting public buy-in.
“It’s just too expensive to live in California, period,” he told the Associated Press ahead of his announcement. “I’m a big believer in going out and winning the argument publicly and then we will win the vote.”
