Public Safety
Building Safe Communities

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community. I'm dedicated to building trust between communities and law enforcement through meaningful reform. Safety means fair, transparent policing and community-based solutions that ensure every resident is treated with dignity. And if we're going to hold our public safety professionals to high standards, we need to compensate, train, and support them commensurately.
