| Collapse all
- I will fight for public safety by enforcing laws and prosecuting crime
- I will advocate for victims' rights and push for speedy resolution of cases
- I will enact systemic changes that will promote fairness and equality for defendants
As DA, I will prioritize prosecuting repeat, serious, and violent offenders. The revolving door for criminals must stop. Violent and property crimes must be taken seriously.

I will strengthen community outreach and partnerships with law enforcement and mental health services.
