2020 NJ Senatorial race: on Crime


Hirsh Singh: Supports sending troops into New Jersey to "Protect America"

Singh said he'd support President Trump approving military operations within New Jersey. "We are a nation of laws. Law and Order must be restored. We must protect peaceful protestors, law enforcement, businesses, innocent bystanders, and personal property," Singh said on Facebook. "If Gov. Phil Murphy fails to deploy the National Guard, I support President Donald J. Trump invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to send in the US Military and Protect America."

Rik Mehta: Lock up violent offenders and throw away the key

The President has taken the first steps to remedy past mistakes by signing into law signature legislation, the First Step Act, and creating incremental changes to our criminal justice system. Rik will continue to expand criminal justice reform in a way that ensures we lock up violent offenders and throw away the key, while preventing the overflow of our jails with non-violent offenders who are capable of rehabilitation and earn second chances.
