Question 1

As County Attorney, would you support tougher sentencing for cops engaged in criminal activity? 

Question 2

In 2020 George Gascon was elected to serve as the District Attorney for Los Angeles County. As DA, Gascon has been both praised and criticized for his policies around ending cash bail, not trying minors as adults, and declining to add enhanced charges to all violent crimes, including homicide. In the 2 years since his election, crime has dramatically increased in Los Angeles County. Coupled with the rising national crime wave after the murder of George Floyd by police, Gascon now faces a second recall attempt in office. 

While other Top 50 population cities have seen significant increases in crime across the board, Omaha has managed to begin reversing it’s upward crime trends which rose nationally after the murder of George Floyd. 

If elected, what policies would you put in place to balance the public’s calls for reform, while maintaining public safety for all Douglas County residents?
