Ilhan Omar's policies and rhetoric make us less safe VOLUNTEER DONATE TODAY Dear John, No matter how much they gaslight us, crime continues to remain a major problem and concern for most Americans. No, it's not getting better, despite the FBI changing how they collect and tally crime statistics in 2021. That's the year the massive gap in crime statistics first appeared as nearly 40% of law enforcement agencies around the country did not submit any data. The nation’s two largest cities by population, New York City and Los Angeles, as well as most agencies in five of the six most populous states: California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida also submitted no data 2021. That's about 7,000 of the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies that did not successfully send crime data to the new program. Only 40% reported in 2022. Last week, Minneapolis recorded its 57th homicide of the year, an increase of 23.3% over last year. As of September 20th, 33,632 crimes have been reported in Minneapolis by the Police Department. This is what 33,632 crimes looks like in Minneapolis. Source: Minneapolis Police Department. It is intolerable that criminal attacks with deadly weapons, carjackings, and shootings have become commonplace. Minneapolis and our district must be a safe place to visit, work, and live. Any plan to revitalize downtown depends on creating a safe environment. Your elected representatives have a duty to keep our cities safe. Ilhan Omar has only stoked the flames, contributing to the problem. In the 2020 aftermath of George Floyd’s death, Ilhan Omar led marches demanding that the Minneapolis mayor dismantle the police, communicating to criminals that the streets were theirs, and communicating to police that elected officials didn’t have their backs. Her rhetoric and actions in 2020 led to the “defund police” ballot initiative in 2021. Fortunately, sensible Minneapolis residents rejected this, but the debate over it has undermined our city’s ability to hire new officers. Ilhan Omar also has groomed, supported, and promoted like-minded politicians, helping them secure school board, municipal, county, and state-level offices. Like her, these followers are more hostile to police than to criminals, believe that homeless encampments should flourish, and believe that all problems can be solved by "taxing the rich." While public safety is largely a local issue, federal leaders have significant roles to play, whether it is negative like Ilhan Omar, or whether it is solutions-oriented, like my plan: My Commitment To Public Safety As your representative in Congress, I will fight to ensure that our law enforcement officers receive the resources, respect, and recognition they deserve. I will push for more state and local law enforcement funding through grants like the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance and COPS so officers can gain access to modern equipment and advanced technology. I will advocate for incentives like scholarships and loan forgiveness to attract new recruits and ensure competitive pay and benefits to retain experienced officers. I will fight for better pay, benefits, and a safe working environment for our officers. I will promote bipartisan cooperation on law enforcement issues and work closely with police leaders to understand their needs. I will promote transparency and accountability by supporting measures that uphold the highest standards of integrity within our police forces to foster public trust and confidence. Relieving our district of Ilhan’s leadership and influence is imperative if we are to break away from this downward spiral. But I can't do it without YOU! YOU will be the DECIDING FACTOR in this Race! Will you be the one to help us broaden our coalition? I urgently need YOUR SUPPORT!
