Crime is running rampant in our community.

Nationally organized gangs like MS-13 have taken a stronghold in our communities.  Drugs are epedemic in our schools - this includes Churchill, Whitman, CC, Wooton, and BCC. This school year, we had a murder at one of our county's best schools. THIS MUST STOP!

We must work as a region with Washington DC and Northern Virginia, and in cooperation with Federal Law Enforcement to tackle these problems.

I have researched many of these issues extensively and believe that the following programs will help
   

• Zubairi Gang Prevention Program
  Many community advocates believe a Gang Intervention Program is one way of dealing with Gangs. I do not believe such a program is effective. We must act on the issues that are forcing our youth into such an illicit lifestyle and deal with them in a human manner.
  

• Enforcing the Drug Free School Zone
  Zero tolerance policy for drugs in school. Explusion and mandatory felony sentence for distribution of drugs and alcohol on school property Freezing of Federal Aid Dollars for schools who do not comply.
  

• Substance assistance programs in schools for students who use drugs. Anonymous programs for youth to seek aid without fear
  

• Mandatory federal sentences for Gang Organization and Gang Related Violence
