Issue Position: Criminal Justice Reform

Issue Position

The inequities in our criminal justice system are serious and systemic challenge that we must confront with conviction and pragmatism. From the conduct of police officers to uneven sentencing to the for-profit prison model, critical changes are needed to ensure that all Americans are viewed equally in the eyes of the law.

There are concrete actions we can take now that I continue to fight for in Austin -- like reforming our state bail system and strengthening the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve through deescalation training and community policing initiatives.
