2020 NC Governor's race: on Crime


Dan Forest: Restore law and order, violent criminals roam free

The government's first priority should be the safety and security of the people. We must restore law and order if we are to protect our civilized society. When a handful of sheriffs allow violent criminals to roam free in our state, purely for political reasons, the entire state suffers.

Holly Grange: Let ex-cons to apply for certain jobs without disclosure

I introduced legislation that would enable those convicted and served their sentences to be able to apply for certain jobs in State government without having to initially disclose their criminal history on the application. Applicants would be given the opportunity to explain their circumstances in the hiring process. This would reduce recidivism by those who have a criminal record who only want to earn a living and support their families.
