Public Safety & Criminal Justice Reform

Why it matters & Rebecca’s leadership

True public safety means accountability, prevention, and dignity — not criminalization or fear. Rebecca has led reforms that strengthen accountability, expand rehabilitation, and center community trust.

Key accomplishments

  • Helped pass sweeping police accountability reforms, banning dangerous tactics and strengthening oversight.

  • Supported sentencing reforms that consider immigration consequences.

  • Advanced reentry supports and record-clearing efforts.

  • Championed community-based violence prevention investments.

  • Passed legislation to ensure we have trained and supported public safety workforce—from community peer prevention teams, peace officers,  and correction officers that reflects the diversity and strengths of our communities.

Looking ahead on King County Council

As a County Councilmember, Rebecca will invest in behavioral health, violence prevention, and community-based safety strategies, while protecting civil liberties and the right to protest and organize.
