Well when we say “combat crime” there is no direct way to combat ongoing crime as a legislator as we are not the ones out there enforcing the law. Criminals are always going to break the law, that’s what they maybe joined fs for or what they’ve come to enjoy doing in fs. My plan for addressing it is to meet directly with those affected, citizens and public workers especially, but everyone including LEOs, EMS/FD talking about what problems they are most confronted with and how they think it should be dealt with. It is hard to maintain a balance between making LEOs overpowered and having no criminals, or making LEOs job(s) impossible and potentially losing LEOs as a result. At the end of the day while I have my own legislation I plan on getting opinions on when/if I am elected, my goal and job is to take what the public wants, make it viable and reasonable to maintain order, and support that legislation into law.
When it comes to my legislative experience, I have never held office within fs, and I know that makes me ofc inexperienced, however, I have been reading up on recommended text about processes, learning from current and past players who have served in Government Office, and can confidently say I do understand the operations of congress and how to legislate to a point I can and will be an effective Representative capable of fulfilling my duties.
Great question and I hope that answers it for you, let me know if you have any other questions or if I can elaborate on anything for you!
