On his campaign website, Polsgrove labels a main issue as “out of control crime” and states that if elected: “He will push new laws to hold criminals accountable and support our brave first responders that put their lives on the line each day for you and me. Why aren’t drug dealers charged with murder if their sales lead to death? When organized groups loot stores, why isn’t it labeled organized crime?I’ve seen politicians in Sacramento reduce penalties, putting us all at risk.”
