Public Safety.
Back the police. Prosecute violent crime. End the soft-on-crime experiment.
The first job of any government is to protect its citizens from one another. A society that cannot do that has not earned the legitimacy to do anything else. Order, in this sense, is not the enemy of liberty. It is the precondition.
Soft-on-crime prosecutors, decriminalization referendums, no-bail policies, the long demoralization of the police — the experiment has been run, the results are in, and the people most harmed by it were the working-class neighborhoods the experiment claimed to defend.
Elect Republicans funds the candidates who restore order — and the year-round Republican infrastructure that defends the law-abiding from a generation of policy malpractice.
Where public order begins.
- 01
Back the police.
The thin blue line is a phrase, but it is also a fact. Recruit, train, equip, and pay the officers who walk the beat. Rebuild departments hollowed out by a half-decade of demonization.
- 02
Prosecute violent crime.
A district attorney’s job is to prosecute crime. The progressive experiment in declining to do that has produced exactly the cities its critics predicted. End it.
- 03
End cashless bail for violent offenders.
Pretrial release for nonviolent first-time offenders is sound policy. Pretrial release for repeat violent offenders is theater. Republicans know the difference.
- 04
Fentanyl as a national emergency.
Nearly 74,000 Americans died from synthetic opioids in 2022 alone — the highest annual count on record. That is not a public-health story. It is an act of war by the cartels, and the answer is enforcement, interdiction, and accountability for everyone in the supply chain.
- 05
Sentencing that protects the public.
Mandatory minimums for armed violent crime. Truth in sentencing. Real consequences for repeat violent offenders. The first responsibility of the criminal-justice system is to protect the people who obey the law.
- 06
Community policing and mental health.
The cop on the beat is not a substitute for a functioning mental-health system, and the mental-health system is not a substitute for a cop. Republicans fund both — without confusing one for the other.
