Public Safety Platform
Under the heading “Restore Law and Order”, Radanovich’s campaign website reads “Our state once had a great Governor in George Deukmejian and one of his slogans was, “do the crime, do the time.” We need to get back to that law and order attitude that holds criminals accountable. Let’s start by repealing Propositions 47 and 57 and AB 109. These measures were sold as being pro-public safety, but the truth is the opposite – they have made us less safe. Gavin Newsom is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to turn San Quentin Prison into a fancy resort for convicts. Maybe we should turn it back into a prison instead.”
While in Congress, Radanovich consistently sided with pro law enforcement bills and voted to reauthorize the PATRIOT Act allowing for mass public surveillance, and voted against timetables for eventual withdrawal from Iraq. Because both candidates support tough-on-crime policies, IJ Action has no recommendation for this race.
