Public Safety

Despite what media sources would have you believe, Boston is getting safer and safer. That doesn't mean the work stops to ensure every resident feels safe in every pocket of the city. Crime is a symptom of lack of opportunities and I intend to work on expanding what is available to Boston's youth. I will also advocate for the work that already has reduced overdose deaths and expand on this approach that centers the humanity of people suffering through the worst of their lives.

Policies and advocacy I will act on

• Continue work that BPHC had been doing prior to 2025 election of trauma-informed care that led to decreases in overdose deaths.

• Invest in youth which in turns reduces environments that encourage crime.

• Reduce police budget in line with reduced crime rate and re-invest that money in other quality of life improvements.

• Support for automated traffic enforcement that will reduce likelihood of fatal crashes.
