First and foremost, Lisa believes everyone has a right to feel safe in their communities, and law enforcement should have the tools and resources to respond to crime in a timely and effective manner. As Congresswoman, she led an effort to stop violent crime across the country and address gun-related deaths in our communities.

Lisa also knows Americans with non-violent and low-level crimes deserve a second chance to contribute to society after they’ve served their time. She has authored bipartisan legislation to remove barriers in employment, housing, education, and so many other opportunities for individuals who committed low-level, non-violent drug offenses. With workforce shortages, this effort promotes a more equitable economy and prevents recidivism.
