Erica Harriss Will Vote to Repeal SAFE-T Act as Senator, Support Police
Erica Conway Harriss, Candidate for State Senate in the 56th District has released a statement on Opposing the SAFE-T Act:
“The SAFE-T Act was passed in the middle of the night, on a party line vote, with no real input from the people it harms most – law enforcement officers and the residents of our state. It is not only a terrible policy that has made our state less safe, but also evidence of a broken and corrupt process in Springfield that serves the needs of elites and ignores the will of the people. This law has made recruitment of new officers more difficult, will eliminate cash bail and send violent criminals back out onto the streets. The job of being a police officer is already difficult and dangerous and this makes their task even harder. In the State Senate, I will support the immediate repeal of the SAFE-T Act and will consult with police officers in my district when deciding on legislation that affects their lives and the safety of our streets.” – Erica Conway Harriss, Candidate for State Senate in the 56th District
