As Polk County Attorney, my office will :
Start prioritizing prosecution of violent, serious crimes, like gun violence, homicide, sexual assault and more, over low-level, non-violent offenses.
Start treating drug addiction and mental illness as public health issues. We can’t incarcerate our way out of drug addiction.
Start listening closely to all victims of crime, because their voices are too often ignored.
As Polk County Attorney, my office will:
Stop requesting cash bail for non-violent, low-level offenses. This will help end racial and income disparities.
Stop unnecessary prosecution of kids and keep them out of the system whenever possible with literacy-based diversion and restorative justice programs.
