Public Safety
Keeping Georgia Safe: A Commonsense Approach to Public Safety
Public safety is a top priority, especially for women, families, and children. Too many communities are facing dangerous drugs, delayed emergency response in rural areas, overwhelmed law enforcement, and schools lacking basic safety infrastructure.
Public safety is not abstract. For women and children, public safety is personal safety.
Stopping Synthetic Drugs and Violent Crime
Synthetic drugs like fentanyl are driving overdoses, crime, and family breakdown, particularly in rural communities.
Congress has a responsibility to act. We can:
- Increase penalties for large-scale fentanyl traffickers
- Target organized drug networks and traffickers who profit from addiction
- Strengthen border enforcement to stop these drugs before they reach our neighborhoods
Drug trafficking is not a victimless crime. It destroys lives, families, and entire communities.
Supporting Law Enforcement and First Responders
Strong communities depend on strong, supported law enforcement. Too many rural areas are underserved.
Congress can help by:
- Funding recruitment and training grants for law enforcement in underserved districts
- Supporting mental health and wellness programs for first responders
- Strengthening emergency services in rural communities
Supporting law enforcement means giving them the resources they need—while holding everyone to professional standards and accountability.
Protecting Our Children at School
Every child deserves a safe learning environment, regardless of zip code.
Congress can help fund passive safety improvements for schools that cannot afford them, including:
- Secure entrances
- Improved lighting and visibility
- Fencing and controlled access points
These commonsense measures protect students and teachers without turning schools into fortresses.
Combating Cybercrime and Fraud
Crime happens online. Large-scale fraud and cybercrime networks steal billions, target seniors, and destroy financial security.
Congress must:
- Increase penalties for organized cybercrime and fraud rings
- Improve coordination between federal and local agencies
- Fund public awareness campaigns to protect seniors and vulnerable populations
Cyber criminals should be caught, prosecuted, and sent to prison.
Standing with Victims and Families
Public safety also means standing with victims. Domestic abuse and human trafficking demand federal attention.
Increasing support for victim services and shelters helps address:
- Homelessness
- Crime prevention
- Child welfare
- Economic mobility for women and families
Protecting victims strengthens families—and strengthens our nation.
A Call for Leadership
We are suffering from a lack of leadership in Congress.
Public safety starts with:
- Accountability for violent offenders
- Support for law enforcement and first responders
- Commonsense prevention that protects families without sacrificing local control
If you vote for me, we can work together to restore safety, accountability, and trust—and begin real solutions for Georgia's families.
A Government Families Can Trust Again
Meg Strickland's campaign is about restoring normalcy—a government that works, an economy families can rely on, and leadership we can trust. It means Congress provides systems that support Americans and reflects the values of responsibility, stability, and respect.
If you're ready for steady, common-sense leadership and a return to normal, Meg asks for your support. Together, we can change the tone and tactics of Congress—for our families and for the next generation.
