Campaign website

Werner's campaign website stated the following:

“

Safety From Crime And For Our Children

Everyone should have the right to be free and safe, without the constant worry of you or your loved ones getting shot anywhere in our community. With local violence worsening and getting into our neighborhoods, we need to take a united stand against gangs and criminals now. We should be proactive in removing illegal guns from the streets, and getting violent offenders out of our communities and into prison.

Charter Schools: Your School, Your Choice

If your local school is failing to provide for your child’s need for impactful learning, then why not have the freedom to find a more effective educational institution? Give yourself the choice to pick your child’s school without being caught in the academe’s competition for students and money. Feel empowered in creating smart decisions that are best for your own child and family.[4]

”
