Issue Position: Keeping Our Communities Safe

Issue Position

Our way of life is under assault. Rioting, looting, and lawless behavior have taken over some of our nation's city streets. Small businesses, national monuments, and even police departments have been destroyed and burnt to the ground while some of our politicians let it happen. And senselessly, we are seeing far too many politicians calling to defund their local police departments. Pete believes we must stop the lawless behavior and anarchy that is attempting to extinguish the very fibers that make America great.

As a retired police officer, Pete Stauber knows what it's like to put the uniform on, say goodbye to his family, and patrol the streets. He was a victim of two violent gun crimes. He can empathize with the challenges and stress the men and women of our law enforcement face, and he continues to strongly stand with his brothers and sisters in uniform.

In Congress, Pete is working with Senator Tim Scott to champion criminal justice reform that provides law enforcement with the support they need to do their jobs. The JUSTICE Act protects the good cops while weeding out the bad ones. Pete's bill also provides our law enforcement with the funding and resources needed to keep our communities and families safe.
