Criminal Justice

I am proud to have served our community for 40 years as a tough on crime prosecutor and as a fair and commended judge who has cracked down on white-collar crime, stood up for seniors and protected our natural treasures. I dedicated my service to fighting for fairness, justice and protecting the rights of victims. I will continue to bring that FIGHT to Congress to ensure our justice system works equally for everyone. Being exposed to gun violence at an early age in life was the inspiration for my career choice. In order to combat the scourge of gun violence, I support Ethan's Law (safe gun storage) and I fully support a ban on high powered semi-automatic weapons with large magazines (commonly known as assault weapons).
