Public Safety
I feel bad for our police, firemen and first responders. While the rank and file are selfless, everyday heroes who are generally conservative in their beliefs and actions, their union leaders have consistently sold them out to Socialist politicians.
How else can you explain supporting someone like Norma Torres, who literally voted to allow police, fire and first responders to be assaulted by illegal aliens (H.R. 7343)?
How else can you explain supporting someone who thinks all cops are racists and voted to remove their qualified immunity which would expose them to personal liability in the conduct of their jobs?
How else can you explain supporting someone who consistently supports open borders (H.R. 957) and the resultant tsunami of human/child trafficking, the flood of fentanyl on our streets and the overwhelming homelessness and crime (H.R. 7511)?
Unlike my opponent, Norma Torres, I will always DEFEND the police and I will never support DEFUNDING them. Law enforcement and all our First Responders have my unwavering support, in every aspect of their profession, to do their jobs effectively, proficiently and professionally.
This election, the vote you cast will have literal life or death consequences. Your life, the life of your family, friends and neighbors depends on the choices you make for our next round of leaders. It’s that simple.
I believe community relations begin with School Resource Officers (SROs). For many children, an SRO is their first personal contact with someone in law enforcement. This initial impression will color that child’s view of police from that point forward. Therefore, our SROs need to be the best and brightest we have. Many of these officers will not only interact with these children, but with their families as well, and in so doing, create the building blocks for mutual trust and respect.
Additionally, I will support funding for student loan relief for those in law enforcement and programs for those entering the profession modeled on successes such as the GI Bill and loan relief for Veterans. Many departments are struggling with staffing shortages. Student loan funding/forgiveness and payment for higher education opportunities will incentivize professionals to join the force.
When you cast your ballot in November, please remember this… Safety and Security should never be politicized! In the end, the most precious thing you possess is your LIFE. We must place its care and protection in the hands of those who value it the same way.
