Issue Position: Protecting Communities from Crime

Issue Position

Public safety has been a cornerstone of my work on the Bakersfield City Council. As a council member I have worked closely with our public safety officers to make our neighborhoods safer.

I believe that if someone is sentenced to jail for committing a crime, they ought to do the time. Under no circumstances do I support early release. Early release of inmates because of overcrowding is irresponsible and dangerous to every community in California.

We must give our law enforcement agencies the tools they need to do their job and make keep our families and communities safe.
