Issue Position: Crime Prevention

Issue Position

Adam Gray funded a special gang prevention task force in Merced that has already resulted in one of the largest busts in California, arresting over 50 gang leaders in Merced.

Adam's first year in the Assembly demonstrates a solid track record of understanding the needs of the Valley, including fighting for jobs, protecting farmers, saving money, and cutting down on state waste.

* During a time when areas of the Valley were experiencing 20 percent unemployment and environmentalist called for a ban, Adam worked hard to ensure the economic opportunity and thousands of jobs associated with exploring for oil here in the Valley was kept but only under a set of comprehensive rules.
* When the State Water Board called for increased flows for the San Joaquin River, Adam led the charge in pushing against the state from stealing from our water, hurting our farmers, and costing us jobs.
* When a state law called for purchasing expensive electricity, Adam authored legislation allowing Merced's hydroelectric power to be counted as renewable energy saving ratepayers from increased power costs.
* As Chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, Adam has authorized audits of state government investigating how California taxpayer money has been mishandled and holding those entities accountable.

As an Assemblymember, Adam will continue to fight for issues that matter most to us in the Valley.
