The Core Principle: Public safety is the foundation of a thriving community, and local police should answer to the citizens they serve.

I am a firm supporter of the Middleton Police Department and believe in professional, community-focused policing:

• Local Priorities: I believe that Middleton citizens should set police priorities, not federal mandates or outside political agendas.

• Opposing Overreach: I will stand against the use of "masked police" or federal interference in local law enforcement, ensuring our officers remain accountable to our community and its values.

• Resource Management: I will work to ensure our local officers have the training and resources necessary to keep our families safe while maintaining the high standards of professional conduct Middleton expects.
