alvez has a moderate public safety platform. On his campaign website, Galvez states: “Along with quality of life, people want to feel safe living in their communities—and safety means different things to different people. Building safe communities means protecting human and civil rights, appropriate and effective law enforcement, and being prepared to prevent and respond to natural disasters.”
