Politicians often speak about public safety and take pictures with our first responders, but when it comes time to make sure FEMA funding is disbursed on time they are no where to be found. I am running to make sure there is local input in our public safety work. \r\nAdditionally, Monopolies have taken over the production of emergency service equipment price-gouging the tax payer and slowing production.
