Evan McMullin:
Promising law & order won't justify infringing civil rights
Authoritarians like @realDonaldTrump use promises of law & order to justify infringing on civil rights as they consolidate control by force.
Opposing @realDonaldTrump is about putting principle over power, a virtue some in Washington are too quick to abandon. #NeverTrump,

Systemic criminal justice problems put Black lives at risk
Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., on Twitter said Tuesday's verdict symbolized justice for

JD Vance:
Violent crime spike because police afraid to do their jobs
We have a massive spike in violent crime because police officers are afraid to do their jobs.
Any "crime prevention" effort that focuses on job training or gun seizures is a giant distraction. @JDVance1

Mike Garcia:
Illegal pot farms lead to crime and threats
If you think the issue of the illegal grows in the Antelope Valley is about marijuana, you are missing the point. My constituents are scared for their lives.
People are being threatened. Tax paying, law-abiding citizens are having their water and land stolen. It must end.

Nicole Malliotakis:
Defunding the police makes us less safe
The residents I spoke with today in #Brooklyn are fed up with local politicians who supported defunding the police and eliminating bail.
They can't understand why their representatives would support policies that make them less safe.

Patrick Morrisey:
More funding, more equipment, more hiring for state police
- @MorriseyWV on Feb 15: WV badly erred when it failed to fund state police trooper classes. While that is now being remedied in the short term (thank you) the broader crisis regarding lack of enforcement personnel needs to be addressed.
I call on the Speaker to focus on this and help save lives.
- @MorriseyWV on Feb 15: WV isn't doing enough to stop drug abuse. It's time @wvlegislature agrees to an enforcement surge and equips
State Police, prosecutors, and AG with more investigators, prosecutors, and troopers. No midnight highway patrols to go after drug dealers?
It's literally criminal. #wvag
- @MorriseyWV on Feb 17: It may be a very busy week for the AG's office enforcing the laws of our state. I urge everyone to follow the law--no one is above the law. Do the right thing!

Will Hurd:
Defunding the police isn't the answer, follow best practices
Defunding the police is not the answer. Instead, let's tie the almost $2B in federal grants received by state & local law enforcement to following best policing practices.
That means more training, compliance with federal civil-rights laws and community policing.

Hung Cao:
Support our law enforcement; oppose soft-on-crime
- We want safe communities for our families to live, work, and learn. I am the only person in the race for #VA10 with the support of our law enforcement.
We can't afford a soft-on-crime candidate at a time of surging violent crime. Vote #HungCaoForCongress for peace of mind.
