Survey of 2020 House campaign websites: on Crime


Greg Pence: Strongly against defunding the police

The recent calls to defund or disband the police departments we depend on are irresponsible. I will never support that. Some are advocating to change qualified immunity. Qualified immunity does not prohibit bad officers from being held accountable by our system of justice. Those who commit illegal acts on the beat, like those accused of George Floyd's murder, are rightfully subject to state or federal criminal charges.

Michelle Fischbach: Keep Rikers Island open and do not ease bail requirements

Nicole opposed Mayor de Blasio's plan to close Rikers Island as well as fought the establishment of supervised injection centers for addicts in our community. She supports our law enforcement and has been calling for changes to the state's new bail law that doesn't consider criminal history or if an individual is a threat to public safety, and includes serious crimes like homicide, strangulation, assault and drug dealing.

Nina Turner: Supports criminal justice reform and policing standards

Turner says, "The criminal justice system is inherently unjust to Black and Brown people. We need to reimagine how we do policing and while we are at it, let's fix the entire system from the judiciary to the streets." Implement alternatives to incarceration where appropriate. End mandatory minimum sentencing and the death penalty. Create national policing and use of force standards. Ensure law enforcement accountability. End for-profit prisons and immigration detention centers.
