Violent crime and property crime jumped in California again.
Highlights from a new study:
- California’s violent crime rate increased 13.5 percent since 2019
- The violent crime rate increased 5.7 percent in the last year
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
