According to Assemblymember Dahle's campaign website: “Crime is increasing and I’m fighting back. In the Assembly, I led efforts to crack down on sexual predators, co-authored a new law to toughen penalties for human trafficking and have backed efforts to prevent more smash and grab robberies that have made shopping more difficult.” Assemblymember Dahle also highlights her support for ACA 12, a bill that failed but would have placed an initiative on the ballot that would “make it easier for district attorneys to prosecute fentanyl dealers for homicide if the illegal drugs they sell kill an innocent person.” Furthermore, as Senator, Dahle promises to “vote to get rid of the laws which let dangerous felons out of jail early, and which have decreased penalties for drug and property crime.”

As a member of the Assembly, she consistently has voted against good justice reform bills and authored and supported legislation that would increase criminal penalties. For these reasons, she received an F grade in our Legislative Scorecard both in 2023 and 2024. Furthermore, Dahle has endorsed Proposition 36, a measure that will appear on the November 2024 General Election ballot that would bring back felony charges for drug possession, create new enhancements for retail theft, and gut major components of Proposition 47. It is being led by district attorneys, police and prison associations, and big corporations like Walmart and Home Depot.

Due to her poor voting record and the expressed tough on crime views of her opponent, IJ Action has no recommendation in the SD 1 race
