Extreme Democrat Mike Levin voted to make it worse by supporting lower penalties for violent crime, undermining police officers and blocking local police funding.

“It is no coincidence that violent crime surged after extreme Democrats embraced the defund the police, soft-on-crime ideology. Mike Levin is an enabler of the most extreme Washington D.C. and Sacramento policies fueling this crime wave.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
