Issue Position: Ensuring Public Safety and an Inclusive Community

Issue Position

Frederick is a diverse community that prides itself on inclusion and culture. Karen has worked hard to ensure equality for all and make sure people can achieve justice.

As a fierce advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Karen led the way in Maryland to ensure rape kit evidence is properly collected and accounted for. She has voted consistently to protect victims of both sexual and domestic abuse and increase penalties for their attackers.

Public safety is essential to our community. Karen supports all of our police, firefighters, EMS, and other brave first responders and wants to ensure they have the tools to succeed. Karen has voted for legislation to improve police training practices and use Justice Reinvestment to modernize the criminal justice system. She is committed to making Frederick an inclusive and safe community that treats all citizens fairly and with respect.
