Our vision for safer, stronger neighborhoods:

• Fully fund EMS, fire departments, and first responders, especially in rural areas where response times are increasing and volunteers are hard to come by.

• Improve infrastructure — from roads to bridges to clean water — to reduce accidents, prevent health hazards, and keep communities connected.

• Increase access to mental health and addiction treatment so law enforcement isn’t left handling crises alone.

• Support community policing and training that builds trust while keeping officers and families safe.

• Promote responsible gun ownership and reduce harm, including safe storage incentives and tools for families worried about a crisis situation.

• Invest in youth programs, apprenticeship opportunities, and workforce pathways that keep young people engaged, supported, and safe.
