Addressing Our Community’s Most Critical Issues

While our community has only grown stronger, there is still plenty of work to do. We face serious issues and properly addressing those issues affects the overall safety and wellbeing of our community. One of Mark’s greatest missions is upholding justice and supporting our most vulnerable citizens. He understands that justice doesn’t always mean punishment; justice can mean supporting struggling individuals through rehabilitation, so they can avoid future offenses.

Here are just a few of our community’s most crucial issues that Mark has worked tirelessly to address.

I intend to strengthen my office’s relationship with our schools. As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, our schools need the assistance of my office to help students attend and learn in a safe environment. Bringing back respect for teachers and all school staff will also plant the seeds of respect for our greater community. There is no greater means to achieve success than a high school diploma.

Gun violence is raging across the country. I have made it one of the top priorities of my office to take a hard stand on illegal possession of firearms and the use of weapons in violent offenses. I will continue to enforce mandatory sentencing provisions for unlawful use of guns.

The pandemic and other social injustices have created a swinging pendulum in public safety responses across the judicial system. It’s time to stop the swing and bring a consistent response to the issues of our community. We need to protect our local community from the broad, irresponsible inaction some large jurisdictions have experienced. This is not the time to throw up our hands in despair without direction. It takes a seasoned confident leader to stay our course.

Mark understands that when individuals have the support they need to succeed, our community benefits.
