Get StartedBy diversifying our approach to public safety, we can reduce harm, improve outcomes, and create a system that prioritizes prevention, support, and long-term stability—making our neighborhoods not only safer, but more compassionate and responsive to everyone’s needs. Learn more
That starts with expanding access to stable housing by limiting overly broad background restrictions and supporting transitional housing programs that provide a bridge back into the community. It also means opening doors to employment by encouraging fair-chance hiring practices, investing in job training and apprenticeship programs, and working with local businesses to create pathways to long-term careers rather than short-term work.

Public safety should be reimagined to reflect the full range of challenges our communities face, going beyond a one-size-fits-all reliance on traditional policing. Many situations that prompt emergency calls—mental health crises, substance use issues, domestic disputes, and homelessness—are not best addressed by law enforcement alone. We need to invest in a broader network of public safety professionals, including trained mental health clinicians, social workers, domestic violence advocates, and crisis intervention specialists who can respond with the right expertise at the right time.

Education must be part of this effort as well, with increased access to vocational training, community college programs, and reentry support services that help individuals gain marketable skills and confidence. Beyond that, we should ensure access to mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and mentorship programs that provide guidance and accountability during the reentry process. By focusing on stability, opportunity, and support, we can strengthen families, reduce repeat offenses, and build safer, more resilient communities for everyone. Learn more
Investing in preventive care, follow-up services, and family support systems is just as important as responding to crises. By creating a compassionate, well-resourced mental health infrastructure, we can save lives, reduce strain on emergency services, and help individuals regain stability before situations escalate into tragedy.

We must also invest in comprehensive healthcare access by supporting free or low-cost programs that prioritize preventive care, mental health services, and treatment for chronic conditions. Learn more
These centers should provide continuous support, including counseling, medical care, and connections to longer-term treatment plans, ensuring that individuals are not released without a clear path forward. In addition, expanding community-based mental health services, mobile crisis response teams, and 24/7 support lines can help intervene earlier and reduce the need for emergency hospitalization in the first place.

I am committed to expanding access to housing by strengthening and growing programs like Section 8, while also investing in new solutions that serve people across all income levels—from working families and seniors to young adults just starting out. That means increasing the supply of affordable housing, partnering with local governments and developers to build sustainable communities, and cutting through unnecessary barriers that slow down construction.

It also means protecting renters from unfair practices, supporting pathways to homeownership, and ensuring that no one is left behind because of rising costs. Learn more
I am committed to strengthening and modernizing our safety net by expanding access to vital resource programs that meet people where they are, whether they are facing job loss, rising living costs, or unexpected emergencies. This includes increasing support for seniors through enhanced assistance programs that help cover housing, healthcare, and daily living expenses, as well as broadening food assistance initiatives so that no one has to worry about where their next meal will come from.
