In his 2026 campaign, Ching says his top priority is to reverse what he calls failed California state policies that have driven up housing costs, property crime, and homelessness. To make housing more affordable, he says the state should address policies that drive up costs, such as by reducing the gas price to the national average. He calls for eliminating all illegal immigration while being open to more legal immigration. He also supports strengthening border security.^{2, 1}
