Criminal Justice / Public Safety We must also support and grow Victim Services and Domestic Violence Programs—and take decisive action to stop the human trafficking crisis in our city once and for all. Social Services We must tackle the root causes of chronic homelessness—not just apply band-aid solutions when election time comes. That means investing in mental health care, expanding affordable housing, creating better jobs, and holding negligent slumlords accountable so that every resident has a safe place to live and thrive. Criminal Justice / Public Safety The safety of our animals and their guardians is also important to me, and we must save abandoned animals and reduce the kill rate at our animal shelter instead of overloading our staff and volunteers. Economy We can revitalize our economy through apprenticeship and training programs, smart and transparent zoning, improved storefronts, and clean, walkable commercial corridors that bring customers and tourists back to a San Bernardino that delivers real community benefits. Infrastructure / Transportation We need an ambitious, accountable program to repair our streets, improve traffic intersections, and make driving in San Bernardino safe for our working families—and for our wallets. Infrastructure / Transportation We must hire more code enforcement officers and strengthen enforcement of our housing laws to protect our neighborhoods, support responsible landlords, and make San Bernardino a safe and livable place to raise a family. Wages / Job Benefits Our warehouse workers and logistics employees at large employers deserve the dignity of historic, first in the nation wage protections that allow them to live in the cities they work in, raise families, and support the small businesses around their workplaces. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We must strengthen and expand innovative efforts like the Violence Intervention Program, while hiring more detectives to solve crimes quickly and bring justice to victims.
