Public safety is not a partisan issue. It is a basic right that every family in the 48th deserves, regardless of their zip code, their background, or what they look like.
Real safety means more than enforcement. It means making sure our communities have what they need before a crisis happens. Mental health resources, addiction support, housing stability, and economic opportunity are not soft issues, they are the foundation that keeps families safe and neighborhoods whole.
What that looks like in Washington
- Fund mental health crisis response teams and addiction recovery programs so law enforcement is not the only answer to every call.
- Strengthen federal partnerships that go after the organized networks driving trafficking, fentanyl, and organized retail theft into our communities.
- Invest in community policing models built on trust, transparency, and accountability — because safety works best when officers and neighborhoods work together.
- Expand resources for domestic violence survivors and the victim advocates who are stretched too thin across the 48th.
- Fund school safety, anti-bullying, and suicide prevention programs so every kid in this district can focus on learning, not surviving.
