GA Congressional representatives, past and present: on Crime


Jon Ossoff: Task forces to fight organized crime & political corruption

When it comes to crime in America, we need to rethink our priorities. Jon is an experienced investigator who has successfully targeted organized criminals and corrupt officials. Violent crime, murder, rape, human trafficking, and corruption are rampant, while we spend billions locking up nonviolent drug offenders. It just doesn't make sense.

Jon will introduce legislation to empower task forces at the Department of Justice dedicated to fighting organized crime and political corruption. He will work to give law enforcement the tools and resources they need to take down organized criminals wherever they are. Jon will work to reduce mass incarceration of nonviolent offenders, which punishes taxpayers and wastes American lives.

Drew Ferguson: Thank a law enforcement officer in your community

Standing with Our Men and Women in Blue: When was the last time you thanked a law enforcement officer in your community? Our men and women in blue put their lives on the line each day to ensure the safety of our families and the security of our communities. They stand against violence and do their best to prevent possible threats that may cause harm to our families, friends and neighbors. They go to work each day, unable to predict the potential dangers that may be thrown their way at any moment. Their admirable bravery and selfless dedication are traits that we should all strive to mirror in our own lives.

The fact that many men and women in uniform have been violently targeted recently is inexcusable. As Americans, we must take a collective stand in honoring our law enforcement professionals. I will always be grateful for these heroes and their devotion to making our state a safer place. How about you? Will you stand with me?
