Mark Lamb
House · AZ-5 · Republican

“But public safety should never require law enforcement to operate with one hand tied behind its back. When elected officials prevent sheriffs and deputies from sharing information with federal authorities about criminal offenders, they are putting politics ahead of common sense. The first responsibility of government is to protect its citizens. Any policy that makes it harder to identify, detain, and remove dangerous criminals deserves serious scrutiny.”

House · TN-6 · Republican
“They’re prioritizing criminals. And we don’t understand how they [Davidson County] can’t partner, just like Sumner County and others, to get these dangerous people off the street. I can’t imagine why they’re refusing to do that.”
