Violent crime spikes in California as Josh Harder enables the crisis

Violent crime spikes in California as Josh Harder enables the crisis

July 2, 2024

Stunning new data showed violent crime surging in California, spiking over three percent last year - on top of the prior year's surge.

The culprit is Josh Harder and his extreme party's dangerous soft-on-crime policies that have turned the Central Valley into a playground for violent criminals.

Harder earned a 100 percent rating and touted an endorsement from an extreme soft-on-crime group pushing zero cash bail and attacks on police officers.

"Self-serving politician Josh Harder caters to criminals while leaving Central Valley families defenseless against a tidal wave of violence and disorder. Voters reject Harder's dangerous agenda emboldening criminals." - NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
