Issue Position: A Safe Community

Issue Position

Jason Harper believes that bail guidelines must be refined, and realistic deadlines must be created for trying cases, in order to keep dangerous criminals from being prematurely released. The recent NM Constitutional changes have failed to keep us safe, so Jason, and other legislators, are talking to the NM Supreme Court about necessary changes.

DWI Laws: Jason will fight to significantly toughen penalties for DWI offenders and keep drunk drivers off our roads.

Gun Laws: as an avid outdoorsman, Jason supports the freedom of individual citizens to enjoy outdoor marksmanship sports, and also to bear arms to protect themselves and their families.

School Safety: school safety doesn't have to be linked to gun law changes. All opportunities to protect students should be considered. That's why Jason Harper has partnered with Rio Rancho legislators to fund school safety improvements, including single point entry, remotely controlled electronic locks, traffic bollards, etc., and he strongly supports RRPS in arming security staff.
