Criminal Justice / Public Safety It’s clear that we need to increase funding for first responders to improve public safety and equal justice. Our laws should focus on helping officers investigate murders, find missing kids, respond to shootings and domestic violence, find stolen cars, and fight human trafficking. Housing Rising home and rental prices are in large part due to low housing supply. We need to build more housing and find ways to build faster to help make housing affordable. Taxes / Budget I support tax reform that reduces the burden on the middle class and will work to provide immediate tax relief to those who need it most. Legislation We also need legislation that protects consumers and prohibits price gouging by major corporations. It is one thing to pass on increases in costs to the consumer, but it is another to profit off scarcity at a time when many families are still struggling to make ends meet. Housing Unaffordable rent due to low housing supply is a massive issue forcing out people on social security and with disabilities, for example. We have to make it easier to build the housing we need where we need it.
