Happy anniversary to the DC crime bill

August 9, 2023

Today marks the six month anniversary of Sharice Davids backing lower penalties for violent crime. Davids’ vote was so extreme that even Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden couldn’t match Davids’ position on this. 

Since 2022, there has been:

📈 37% increase in DC violent crime

📈 29% increase in DC property crime

📈 28% increase in DC homicides

📈 114% increase in DC motor vehicle theft

Davids’ decision to side with soft-on-crime policies shows she doesn’t view an increase in violent crime to be concerning despite poll after poll after poll showing the issue is on voters’ minds.

“Six months ago Sharice Davids made her position clear: She represents the most extreme fringe in the Democrat party. Across the country crime is on the rise, but Davids has shown she would rather side with murderers, robbers and violent criminals than prioritize the safety of Kansas.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
