Issue Position: Criminal Justice/Public Safety

Issue Position

The safety and wellbeing of our families, neighborhoods, and businesses are a priority. Burglaries and home invasions are rising at a startling rate. This can be reduced with neighborhood organizing, a stronger economy, and more police presence. We need to repair relationships between the police and minorities communities. I support Community Policing. The School-to-Prison pipeline must also end! We cannot allow prison to be a profitable industry while it serves to dismantle families and communities. When elected, I will push for reforming sentencing guidelines, and expanding drug courts, veteran's courts, and prisoner re-entry programs.
