Maintaining Law and Order & Fighting Crime
"As a former U.S. Attorney, I know well the sacrifices our brave law enforcement officers make. It is imperative that they have the support and resources they need to safely and effectively do their job. I believe that local, state, and federal law enforcement should cooperate to tackle crime at the source, prevent violence, and protect our communities. In Washington, I will always support our law enforcement officers." – Congressman David Kustoff
