Death Penalty

It is important that we provide sufficient funding for victim-witness advocate programs and appropriate punishment for those who commit crimes.

Violent crime can destroy families and terrorize communities. However, I oppose the death penalty. The death penalty will not make our state safer because the people who commit terrible crimes will not be deterred by the threat of death. As we’ve seen in hundreds of cases in the past several years in which the wrong person has been convicted for a crime, the risk of tragic error in a capital murder case is too high and too real.
