Restoring safety in our neighborhoods must be the top priority of every elected official in Baltimore City. We must take a comprehensive approach to addressing crime in the city, especially violent crime, while enhancing our approach to crime prevention, building pathways to opportunity and stifling the school-to-prison pipeline.

She will promote efforts that create stronger relationships between communities and law enforcement, and help returning citizens get access to well-paying jobs
