Steven believes that every American deserves to live in a safe and secure community, free from violence, fear, and lawlessness. He supports fully funding law enforcement and giving police the tools, training, and resources they need to do their jobs effectively and safely. Steven also believes in restoring respect for the rule of law by holding repeat offenders accountable and ending soft-on-crime policies that put criminals back on the streets.
Steven is deeply concerned about the troubling gun violence and violent crime across the city. He supports tougher penalties for violent offenders and repeat criminals, and he will work to reverse soft-on-crime policies that keep dangerous individuals on the streets. He also spent time trying to expand task forces to combat the fentanyl crisis that has devastated families in Southwest Ohio.
Steven also believes in supporting mental health and rehabilitation programs that can reduce recidivism and help individuals turn their lives around. Emphasis should be placed on creating and promoting meaningful youth engagement opportunities. For him, public safety is not a partisan issue, it’s a basic responsibility of government. He will work tirelessly to make sure Southwest Ohio is a place where businesses can grow, kids can play outside, and families can build their futures without fear.
