Public safety is government’s first responsibility. Too many Pennsylvania communities are grappling with rising crime and the fentanyl crisis that claimed nearly 4,000 lives in our state last year.
Every Pennsylvanian deserves to feel safe where they live, work, and raise their families. No parent should fear violence on their streets or losing a child to an overdose.
Empowering our law enforcement agencies to keep our communities safe is critical if we want to ensure that every American life is protected.
As a father, I understand these concerns deeply. That’s why my first vote in the United States Senate was for the Laken Riley Act—legislation holding criminals accountable and ensuring our immigration system doesn’t compromise public safety. This bill reflects an unwavering commitment: no family should suffer preventable tragedy.
Moving forward, I will stand firmly with law enforcement, ensuring our police officers, deputies, and first responders have the resources, training, and legal support they need. Through decisive action and smart policy, I will work every day to make Pennsylvania a place where families thrive and everyone can live without fear.
