JB McCuskey: Supports putting armed security guards in public schools

McCuskey says public schools should include armed security guards to protect students and staff in the event of an active shooter situation. "This is about protecting immediate safety of a large portion of the students," McCuskey said. "These are people that are going to be seen as police officers in the schools. They are there to protect the students from outside threats."

Having an armed guard at the school could deter a potential shooter from entering the building, McCuskey said.

Moore Capito: There is a need to put away really, really bad people

Public safety and education are top priorities, Capito said, suggesting life prison sentences for human trafficking and fentanyl dealing. There should be attention paid to how programming in the correctional system prepares people to be released back into society, but there is a need to "put away really, really bad people that are doing damage on our streets. That's full stop."

Steve Williams: Tells criminals, "We're going to run you out of town"

[On news article, "23 arrested in Huntington citywide warrant sweep"]: "If somebody's coming in to Huntington seeking to do something other than a legitimate business, we're going to run you out of town," said Williams. "We don't want you here. You don't belong here and you're not adding any value to our community." Williams said the community's help will lead to more arrests. He says they can do so through the police department's anonymous tip line.
