Wiens with constituents

Dear Friends,

It was another marvelous week with constituent visitors. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, including Emily and friends with Lifespark (pictured right.)

This week, I want to address the troubling rise in crime across our state. House and Senate Republicans recently came together to release our ?Safe & Sound Minnesota? plan to ensure everyone feels secure in their community. Our policies will address the threat of violent?and repeat criminals, strengthen police?and?improve training for law enforcement,?and?hold judges?and?prosecutors accountable with public data?and?information.?Bills included in the package would:


* Add a new crime of carjacking to state statute;
* Increase penalties for fleeing police in a motor vehicle;
* Align fentanyl to the same weight thresholds?and penalties as heroin;?
* Increase sentences for those convicted with at least two prior crimes of violence;
* Support our state?s law enforcement officers with robust recruitment, training,?and?retention plans;?and
* Put in place transparency?and?accountability measures for the state?s courts.

All Minnesotans, regardless of zip code, should not be concerned about their safety. I hope we can pass some great bipartisan legislation this session to address the security needs of Minnesota. To learn more about our plan, click my photo below.
