Violence in our communities threatens to undermine Rhode Island's economic recovery. When there are shootings on our streets, businesses are less likely to put down roots and thrive. When children witness domestic violence, it makes it harder to learn in school. And we must do more to prevent the human trafficking that has made its way to the front pages of our newspapers. As governor, Gina will:
- Enact common-sense gun control measures such as a ban on military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
- Improve our state’s domestic violence response procedures to focus on reducing violence against women.
- Tackle human trafficking and enact stricter penalties on strip clubs and similar establishments.
