Survey of 2006 House campaign websites: on Crime


Brad Ellsworth: Meth labs & coarse culture threaten our communities

I’ll protect our communities. I’ve been a cop for almost 25 years now, and today we face challenges I would have never dreamed of when I started. I know better than most the dangers that threaten to break up our communities: a coarse popular culture that assaults the values we try to teach our children, meth labs popping up near our schools, and gangs moving in from the big cities because they smell opportunity. I’m going keep on fighting these things with the same passion I’ve had for the last 25 years.

Keith Ellison: No simplistic axioms like “tough on crime”

Community involvement, respect for individual rights, and programs that attack the root causes of crime are essential to fixing the crime problem. This is why I do not believe that simplistic axioms like “tough on crime” and “war on drugs” are viable solutions to the problem. The reality is much more complex, the pain that much deeper, and the solutions that much more difficult. This is why I have endeavored to be smart on crime, not merely “tough on crime.”
