Issue Position: Law & Order

Issue Position

The drug epidemic that has escalated into a national emergency is a direct and immediate threat to the way of life in economically fragile, rural communities. Neutralizing this threat, and the other criminal activities associated with it, is of critical importance to the general welfare of the people and the issue of public safety is a pillar of my campaign. Safe communities are prosperous communities and without adequate resources our law enforcement agencies cannot effectively patrol neighborhoods, investigate crime, educate the public, and confront the unique challenges of policing in rural areas. State government should partner with these agencies to help coordinate their response plans and grant access to better resources.
