Issue Position: Crime and Safety

Issue Position

Clay Yarborough has always worked to make our neighborhoods and schools safer for us.

As a member of the Jacksonville City Council, Clay learned first-hand the challenges our local police have by spending time with officers in some of Jacksonville's toughest areas. A long-time member of the Sheriff's Advisory Council, Clay worked to make sure the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office had the funds necessary to continue to fight the worst types of crime.

As our State Representative, Clay has continued his quest to make our homes and schools safer. The first bill he filed puts tighter standards on sexual predators. Now just in his second year in the legislature, Clay voted for unprecedented school hardening measures to keep our children safe. He also supported putting necessary treatment programs in place to asses and help those who could be driven to crime by mental disorders.

We can count on Clay Yarborough to put our families first and help keep us safe.
