SACRAMENTO – Friday Governor Newsom announced additional measures on public safety, despite encouraging soft-on-crime policies that foster a safe haven for criminals.
“The Democrats’ relentless push for their ‘criminals first’ agenda has turned this once-majestic state into a sanctuary for criminals. It shouldn’t have taken increasing homicide rates, widespread news reports of smash-and-grabs, and pleas from Californians for Democrats to come to this realization,” said Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita).
“Ironically, today’s announcement comes just 15 days away from several new laws taking effect, including ones that greenlight reduced sentences for murder accomplices and let gang members off the hook for being gang-affiliated. It is no surprise criminals feel empowered here. Time will tell if today’s announcement is about meaningful action or just more political grandstanding.”
Senator Wilk represents the 21st Senate District, which includes the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Victor valleys. Learn more about Scott by visiting his website and be sure to connect with him on social media.

While Mr. Wilk exaggerates for political purposes, there is some truth in what he says. California’s progressive left politicians have failed to provide adequate prosecution and sentencing of criminals – including habitual ones.
