Violent crime spikes in California as Joe Kerr enables the crisis

Violent crime spikes in California as Joe Kerr enables the crisis

July 3, 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 Joe Kerr and his extreme party's dangerous soft-on-crime policies that have turned Southern California into a playground for violent criminals.

Kerr touted his endorsement from an extreme soft-on-crime group pushing zero cash bail and attacks on police officers.

"Extreme Democrat Joe Kerr caters to criminals while leaving Orange County families defenseless against a tidal wave of violence and disorder. Voters reject Kerr's dangerous agenda emboldening criminals." - NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
