Kari Lake: Instead of defunding police, I will fully fund police

This awful, insidious "defund the police" movement needs to be stopped in its tracks. Not only will I ensure that State Shared Revenues are withheld from any city, town, or county that defunds their police department, I will push to include significant grants to local governments in our annual budget for the recruitment, training, and retention of great police officers. Instead of defunding police, I will fully fund police. Arizona's next governor must #BackTheBlue. Source: 2021 AZ Gubernatorial campaign website KariLake.com Sep 3, 2021

Steve Gaynor: Oppose efforts to defund, delegitimize law enforcement

I strongly oppose any effort to defund and delegitimize law enforcement. I will work closely with communities to strengthen and improve our whole law enforcement system, including social engagement, recruiting, compensation, delivery systems and funding. I will also work to improve community engagement with law enforcement and lead an effort to familiarize and promote the honorable career of law enforcement in our classrooms. My belief is that when law enforcement wins, Arizona wins. Source: 2021 AZ Governor campaign website GaynorForGovernor.com Sep 17, 2021
