2020 AZ Senatorial race: on Crime


Mark Kelly: Address racial justice issues threatening Black lives

Q: Restrict police use of force and increase public oversight?

Mark Kelly: Mostly yes. Would reform policing with "action, transparency, and independent oversight," and would address "racial justice issues in our country that threaten Black lives."

Martha McSally: Mixed. Supported incentives to not use chokeholds, add more bodycams, and improve de-escalation training, but not to ban chokeholds or no-knock warrants, or make it easier to sue for police brutality.

Mark Kelly: We need to reform policing, not defund police departments

In a written statement to The Arizona Republic, Kelly's campaign spokesman said Kelly does not support defunding police departments. "Mark believes we need to reform policing, not defund police departments," a spokesman said. "He knows the inequalities in our justice system and throughout our society require action, transparency, and independent oversight to end misconduct and discrimination."

Martha McSally: Criminalize harassment in military, keep commander's role

McSally, who was sexually assaulted while serving in the Air Force, will push legislation to focus on criminalizing sexual harassment in the ranks and ensure that each military base has a lawyer who advocates for victims. McSally also said she stands by the commanders' traditional role as the arbiter of prosecutions for sexual assault.
