2022 IA Governor's race: on Crime


Cindy Axne: Voted for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

Axne voted to advance the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, legislation that would establish a national standard for the operation of police departments, mandate law enforcement agencies report use of force data, and invest in community-based programs to help inspire public safety systems that are more equitable and just. "I'm reaffirming my commitment to tackling racism and bias in our institutions and taking direct steps to save lives and hold our police officers accountable."

Deidre DeJear: Police deserve more than pat on the back and one-time bonus

While the majority of the Legislature stood to honor law enforcement during the governor's speech, DeJear said she chose to sit because she doesn't support the governor's policies--saying she hasn't addressed the challenges officers face on the job.

"To be clear, our officers deserve more than a pat on the back and a one-time $1,000 bonus," DeJear said in a statement.
