Background:
Tiffanie Tate is a retired U.S. Navy officer, former obstetrician–gynecologist, author, and ordained minister. She is also the author of four published books and a radio talk show co-host
Public Safety Platform:
Tate does not offer a public safety platform on her campaign website, but states that she supports the Second Amendment and is a registered firearm owner. She supports housing, mental health services, and recovery programs for the homeless.
While her policies are unclear, the incumbent in this race is an active opponent to justice reform; therefore, IJ Action recommends voters support Tate as the Harm Reduction candidate.
