Law Enforcement and Community Safety
When I speak with my constituents, they tell me their families do not feel safe anymore due to an increase in crime in their communities. To ensure community safety, we must remove the red tape that ties our law enforcement hands.
As a former judge and prosecutor, I support our men and women in blue and I strongly oppose “defund the police” rhetoric and policies. I have seen firsthand the vital role our police play in our criminal justice system and in ensuring our friends and families can live in a safe community. We must support our police officers while also ensuring prosecutors and local officials fully enforce the law.
I will always support legislation that fully funds our law enforcement and equips them with the resources they need to keep our streets and communities safe.
