Karianne believes that public safety is a vital role of government. She is grateful to those who put their lives on the line in our armed forces and in our local and state police forces.
The legislature has visited some tough issues over the past years – scaling back penalties for certain offenses, grand jury amendments, asset forfeiture, police body camera provisions, and other issues have been at the forefront.
