CRIME

Policing is a state and local responsibility. But the federal government can help make policing more effective.

I propose that police officers be exempted from federal income taxation just as military members serving in combat zones are.

I support a resolution passed in the House to condemn efforts to defund law enforcement agencies.

I support the recent “Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act.”

I support stronger laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.

I support cash bail.

Interrupting the supply of fentanyl is an international matter requiring aggressive actions to force China to stop making and shipping ingredients for this poison.

These all are common sense measures.
