Safer Neighborhoods, Stronger Communities

Real safety is built on trust, opportunity, and prevention — not just enforcement.

The Vision

A community-rooted approach to public safety.

Every family in District 10 deserves to feel safe at home, on the block, and on the way to work or school. Yvonne supports Democratic policies that pair accountable, well-trained law enforcement with the investments — jobs, housing, mental health, and youth opportunity — that actually prevent harm.

Community policing

Officers who know the neighborhoods they serve, with strong accountability and transparency.

Violence interruption

Fund credible-messenger programs that stop retaliation before the next tragedy.

Mental health response

Pair clinicians with first responders so a crisis doesn't become a casualty.

Gun safety

Common-sense firearm laws, safe storage, and a crackdown on illegal trafficking.

Opportunity for youth

Year-round jobs, mentorship, and recreation that give young people a real path forward.

Reentry support

Housing, employment, and services that reduce recidivism and rebuild families.

Domestic violence prevention

Fund shelters, hotlines, and trauma-informed services for survivors.

Safe streets & lighting

Invest in lighting, crosswalks, and infrastructure so every block feels welcoming.

Help build safer District 10 neighborhoods.
