Top Issues

Drug Policy I will work to restore a focused narcotics and gangs program that targets high‑risk offenders, disrupts trafficking networks, and protects families from the violence that follows these operations. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I strongly believe in strengthening the systems that keep people safe—timely response, thorough investigations, and coordination with prosecutors—while also investing in strategies that reduce violence before it occurs. That includes supporting victims, improving communication with the public, and working closely with schools, service providers, and community groups to identify risks early. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I believe in a values‑driven approach to policing that centers on dignity, fairness, and accountability. It includes responsible use‑of‑force standards, clear communication, and a commitment to treating every individual with respect. The goal is to ensure that every action taken by law enforcement reflects the community’s expectations for professionalism and integrity. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will emphasize partnerships with local organizations, job‑readiness programs, and initiatives that help prevent crime by addressing root causes. When people have opportunities, communities thrive and crime decreases. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I want to ensure improvements in technology, training, emergency response systems, and facility upgrades that enhance efficiency and safety. I also believe in fiscal responsibility—ensuring that every dollar spent directly supports community wellbeing and operational readiness. Drug Policy I will work hard on prevention, education, and recovery‑focused strategies that reduce drug‑related crime and support healthier communities. I believe in partnerships with treatment providers, proactive enforcement against trafficking, and programs that help individuals break the cycle of addiction. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will work to restore youth‑focused law‑enforcement programs that build trust, teach real‑world decision‑making, and give young people the skills to avoid drugs, gangs, and risky behavior. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Rural communities and outlying neighborhoods often face unique safety challenges. We must work on improving patrol coverage, response times, and communication in areas that are geographically spread out. I believe in equitable service for every part of the county, ensuring that no neighborhood. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will be focusing on strengthening trust through transparency, consistent communication, and a commitment to fair, respectful treatment for everyone. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will focus on strengthening crisis‑response capabilities through specialized training, partnerships with behavioral‑health professionals, and strategies that prioritize de‑escalation and safe outcomes.
