Ensuring Public Safety
An essential function of California’s government is ensuring public safety and security while maintaining strict adherence to the Constitution of the State of California and the Constitution of the United States. The state should encourage the enforcement of existing criminal laws, including quality-of-life laws concerning property destruction, petty theft, loitering, and disturbing the peace. The state should continue to implement incarceration policies that protect the public from recidivist violent and sexually predatory felons.
I support the appointment of qualified judges dedicated to the separation of powers and enforcement of the laws as written. I support effective anti-drug education programs, fair drug laws and rehabilitation of drug users. Drug dealers should be subject to stiff penalties as drugs are a scourge on California’s productivity and the quality of family life. Criminals who abduct, exploit, abuse or prey upon children and other vulnerable members of society such as the elderly or disabled (including electronic stalking and economic crimes against the elderly) should be severely punished.
