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 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.
