Our district continues to see violent crimes like never before. Drug dealers continue to poison our children and families, and property crimes continue to rise. Serious crimes have not been taken seriously, habitual and violent offenders are not being punished as such, and relations with many law enforcement agencies are strained or broken with the current administration.
We cannot keep doing the same things we have been doing for the last two decades and expect different results. Crimes and their methodology have changed and prosecutions have not changed with them. I will implement a new plan for prosecution and crime prevention in our district, and a new administration leading the way. We are at a critical point to rebuild relationships with law enforcement, educate our children on the lifelong consequences of crime, and encourage them on different paths.We must help people who can be rehabilitated, while punishing violent and repeat offenders for their crimes, not using the law as a bargaining chip for a guilty plea. I fully plan to implement these new strategies from day one in office..
