Issue Position: Criminal Justice Reform

Issue Position

As a former police officer and a teacher of criminal justice at Mount Hood Community College, Chris is deeply committed to creating an equitable justice system. As a state representative, he has championed various bills that protect the civil rights of Oregonians, ranging from demilitarising law enforcement to allowing only legally acquired evidence into the courtroom. Most recently, Chris passed legislation that ensured that every police interview of a youth is recorded, to ensure that their rights are not violated. In the future, Chris wants to create a police budget oversight committee, so that communities can be served safely.
