Sacramento’s rising crime rates and escalating violence demand immediate solutions. Liberal, lenient policies have let criminals commit crimes without facing appropriate consequences. We are hurting our law abiding citizens and businesses. We can make our streets, neighborhoods, and communities safe again! I support:

Enforcing the law:

Props 47 and 57 reclassified hundreds of crimes to misdemeanors, including violent crimes such as assault, human trafficking, drug trafficking and robbery. I support repealing Props 47 and 57, to reclassify violent crimes as felonies to ensure prosecutors are able to secure convictions and get violent criminals off the streets.

Upholding bail:

Cash bail is an important piece of our justice system and prevents criminals from reoffending while awaiting their court proceedings. Maintain bail as a public safety tool to keep dangerous criminals behind bars.

Support Law Enforcement:

“Defund the police” resulted in more crime in our communities. I strongly support law enforcement by ensuring that our officers are well trained, well paid and have the resources they need to effectively do their job.

Support Anti-Gang and Anti-Drug Programs to Protect Our Children:

The gang and drug epidemic is creating an environment of violence, fear and insecurity in our community. Our young people are dying, caught in the crossfire. We need immediate action to remove dangerous drugs like fentanyl and opioids from our streets and prosecute those committing violent crimes with guns to the maximum extent of the law.
