“On social issues, he has described himself as libertarian and “a different kind of Republican”, supporting abortion rights, marriage equality, and a path to legal status for illegal immigrants. He voted against California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in 2008. In 2013 he was one of 131 Republicans who signed a pro-marriage equality amicus curiae brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court as part of Hollingsworth v. Perry, the case in which Proposition 8 was ultimately found unconstitutional. Kashkari is a gun owner but “doesn’t object to background checks for all firearm purchases”.

On environmental issues, he voted against California’s Proposition 23, which would have suspended the state law that limits greenhouse gas emissions.[56] He believes climate change is real and man-made. He has spoken positively of fracking and offshore oil drilling.

He voted for Obama in the 2008 presidential election and Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. The San Francisco Chronicle reported in January 2014 that, since 1998, Kashkari had been eligible to vote in 23 elections in California and Pennsylvania but had only voted in 13 of them. His spokesman disputed some aspects of the reporting and said that Kashkari’s Treasury Department service proves his commitment to civic life.”
