Keeping Sacramento County Safe
Lately, we've seen far too much violence in our country – everything from criminal mass shootings to attacks on our law enforcement. We need to support our first responders and local police so they have all the tools they need to save lives as we work to strengthen the bonds of trust between them and the communities they serve. We need to do a better job of standing with women and families who have been torn apart by domestic and sexual violence. We also need to address the prescription drug and opioid abuse epidemic that has taken record numbers of American lives, including many in our own neighborhoods.
