As understaffed law enforcement officers work to confront a spike in crime, politicians in L.A., Sacramento, and Washington are setting our officers up for failure. Mike, whose stepdad is a former LAPD officer, is proud to work to keep our neighborhoods safe by providing our departments the resources they need. A vocal critic of the Defund the Police movement, he has proudly stood with our officers as they’ve faced cuts in funding, an increase in violence against police, a wave of progressive backlash, and vaccine mandates that threaten to crush their departments. In May, Mike joined forces with multiple law enforcement agencies to lead the largest drug bust in our nation’s history, confiscating billions of dollars of cartel-linked illegal marijuana from growing operations across the California desert. Our families and businesses suffer most when liberal politicians defund our departments and refuse to enforce the law. Mike is fighting every day to put a stop to the failed policies that are crushing our communities.
