Issue Position: Public Safety

Issue Position

Every New Mexico family deserves to live without fear of crime.

Michelle knows that crime is damaging to NM communities, our economy, and our health. Michelle has consistently supported common-sense investments in public safety, voting for additional public safety officers and vehicles and has supported police reform and improved crisis intervention funding. As governor, Michelle will support more police in our communities, provide access to drug courts and diversion for nonviolent drug offenders, eliminate the rape kit backlog, and crack down on domestic violence and violence against women across New Mexico. Further, Michelle will work to pass critical gun legislation that keeps deadly weapons out of the hands of criminals.
