Top Issues

Criminal Justice / Public Safety More deputies better schedules Better Workplace. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Mental health support for deputies (and common-sense leadership that doesn’t crush people over minor issues). Government Reform Lead from the front (present, known, shows up, understands the job). Criminal Justice / Public Safety Our deputies are still working with minimal staffing far too often. I will have a laser focus on ensuring our deputies are assigned where we need them. This will directly improve public safety, knowing that when you need us, we are there. Government Reform Clear communication to the public (not “transparency” as a legal promise, but “clear, timely, honest communication”). Criminal Justice / Public Safety Real-time crime reporting / Real-Time Crime Center (cameras, LPR, community video sharing). Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will work together for those suffering with mental illness by developing programs that offer more options for a deputy to assist and limit using the current options like emergency petitions or arrest, when that's not the solution. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will ensure that our school safety is prioritized. Every deputy will have the same training on how to respond to critical incidents and every deputy will have access to our schools to protect our children. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will use modern technology to keep our community protected in a proactive way.
