Prop 36:
THE HOMELESSNESS, DRUG ADDICTION, AND
THEFT REDUCTION ACT
“Prop 36 is not about politics or partisanship, but rather it’s about public safety. It is not about nonsense, but rather, it’s about common sense. I am a career prosecutor and not a career politician and I have relentlessly fought to hold the scourge of retail theft accountable and to compassionately compel treatment for mental health and drug addiction.”
