Issue Position : Champion for Our Children

Issue Position

Jacob has championed causes to protect our children. He authored and passed HB 2734, "Lauren's Law", which is designed to help teach our young adults how to prevent sexual assault by teaching about consent and healthy relationships. Although "Lauren's Law" passed off the House floor, it didn't get signed into law. Jacob plans to continue working to pass this important legislation to help protect our children. Jacob is also a member of the bipartisan Early Childhood Legislative Caucus, the main goal of which is to build public and private coalitions to provide supports for children from birth to 8 years old, in order to reduce adverse childhood experiences. Providing robust supports to children in this age range has been proven to lessen mental health issues, childhood poverty and crime.
