Safety First

True public safety comes from strong, connected communities where people look out for each other, where young people have opportunities and hope, where those who struggle with addiction or mental health issues get treatment instead of incarceration, and where everyone has a stake in their neighborhood's wellbeing.

I reject the false choice between supporting police and supporting communities. We can have both effective law enforcement and investment in prevention. We can hold people accountable for harm while also addressing the conditions that lead to crime. We can be both compassionate and firm in our commitment to safety.
