Background

Greer is a Trustee of the Del Norte Unified School District, a position he has held for a couple of years. He served 14 years as trustee for Paradise Union School District, and is a retired special education teacher.

Public Safety Platform

Greer's website outlines the following public safety platform: “Crime rates are rising, affecting streets, homes, and schools. Current policies fail to hold offenders accountable, leading to repeated offenses. California families need assurances that they can provide for their families and keep them safe.” His platform calls for “restoring and increasing police authority” and “reinstating consequences for criminal activities” among other policies like lowering the arrest threshold for theft.

Greer 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.
