Issue Position: Keeping Our Streets, Homes, and Businesses Safe

Issue Position

I believe that public safety is a basic necessity within any community. I plan to work with other members of the legislature in an effort to ensure that revenue sharing is maintained in order to assist communities in providing the adequate number of sworn officers, firefighters, and other emergency service men and women. This annual appropriation will provide our citizens with a sense of security and safety.

In the past, I empowered a citizen who was concerned about safety in the Campbell Park area and helped create Take Back Our Park (aka TBOP), a working group of community members, businesses and municipal staff with a mission of encouraging residents and businesses to work together to provide safe, clean and enjoyable park within Campbell Park.

I also recognize that public safety is more than police and fire protection but also ensuring that all citizens have access to sufficient health care; therefore, maintaining and increasing funding for Medicaid is essential.
