Issue Position: Criminal Justice / Public Safety

Issue Position

The safety and well-being of our families, neighborhoods, and businesses are a priority. Burglaries, home invasions, and homicide are rising at a startling rate. This can be reduced with neighborhood organizing, a stronger economy, more mental health services, and increased police presence. We need to repair relationships between the police and minorities communities. I support Community Policing that works in partnership with the community. We cannot allow prison to be a profitable industry while it serves to dismantle families and communities. I support reforming sentencing guidelines, and expanding drug courts, veteran's courts, and prisoner re-entry programs.
