Catherine Cortez Masto: Supports peer-to-peer counseling & privacy for law officers

Cortez Masto introduced legislation to encourage the adoption of law enforcement peer counseling programs and protect the privacy of officers. "Peer-to-peer counseling provides valuable mental health support to law enforcement, but a lack of resources and concerns over confidentiality remain barriers to entry for too many departments," said Senator Cortez Masto. " It's time we support public safety officers across the country who are bravely seeking the mental health care they need."

Cindy Hyde-Smith: Voted for First Step Act, bipartisan criminal justice reform

Hyde-Smith voted in favor of bipartisan criminal justice legislation aimed at reducing inmate recidivism and reforming federal sentencing guidelines. The First Step Act of 2018 (S.3649) would authorize programs to reduce the risk of prisoners committing new crimes after leaving prison. Hyde-Smith said, "Prisoners, who have a low risk of recidivism, may use this bill to earn an earlier release, but only after meeting criteria that can help them lead productive lives after their incarceration."

Nathan Dahm: Jan. 6 insurrection arrestees are political prisoners

SB 1166, the "Prohibition on Political Prisoners in Oklahoma Act," would define a political prisoner as a citizen of the United States who has been arrested, charged or convicted of any crime, other than a felony, relating to the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. "It's well past time we stand up to this political thuggery being imposed on people who entered a building--a building which they own as citizens--through doors opened by police and security personnel to grant them access," Dahm said.
