Issue Position: Creating safer communities

Issue Position

Our local governments are severely underfunded and lacking in resources to address crime and overcrowded prisons in the wake of Prop 47. It is crucial that we prioritize all funding for local public safety protection programs and ensure continued funding for adult criminal justice facilities that will meet needs created by realignment. In addition, we need to continue to pursue full reimbursement of costs of state and federal mandates and oppose unfunded state mandates on our law enforcement agencies.

Henry has worked with Senator Pavley to pass legislation protecting the victims of domestic violence and closing loopholes in sentencing laws.

He is endorsed by the Association of Los Angeles County Sheriffs and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen.
