Issue Position: Public Safety

Issue Position

The Washington State Patrol and the judicial and correctional systems are critical to preserving and protecting our way of life in Washington State. State assistance to local law enforcement and judicial systems is key to safe communities. Brad is proud to have supported efforts to assist the courts and to provide competitive wages to our State Patrol when those opportunities presented themselves. Brad has also supported efforts to hold high-ranking officials accountable for their mistakes. Whether legislation is related to privacy rights, drunk driving, human trafficking, or rape kit DNA testing, Brad will always focus closely on the importance of maintaining and preserving public safety in our state -- and helping to protect the brave men and women who put their lives on the line in their duty to protect our families and our quality of life. As with any state spending, Brad is watchful in budgetary oversight but believes strongly in protecting our citizens and supporting our justice system.
