Public Safety Platform

Although public safety is not listed as a priority on her campaign website, Rubio states that her vision is to: “Secure more investments to address public safety, including help for at-risk youth, gun violence prevention, and efforts to disrupt vehicle break-ins and retail theft.” While running for city council, she also stated: “In addition to creating a smart city to improve crime detection, we should provide more collaborative opportunities for community engagement between our first responders, businesses, and residents. This is vital to ensuring that our public services are meeting our community’s needs and that our community, in turn, is aware of our first responders' needs and the services they provide.”

IJ Action recommends Marisol Rubio for the SD 9 race, as she has committed to running a “clean money” campaign and has received endorsements from progressive organizations while her opponent has a mixed record on justice reform issues and freely accepts law enforcement contributions.
