Safety
As I attend neighborhood meetings across the city, one thing is a constant point of conversation: people are concerned about a dramatic increase in crime. There is a growing feeling of vulnerability throughout our community. Together we can come together and craft solutions that work for our County.
We need a comprehensive and cohesive approach that ensures accountability, supports law enforcement, and recognizes the urgent need for supportive services such as mental health counseling and drug addiction treatment.
Through my service on the executive board of NAMI SW WA (National Alliance on Mental Illness) I have come to recognize the pressing need for behavioral health teams in cooperation with law enforcement to de-escalate mental health crisis situations. There is a dire need in our community for supportive mental health and addiction treatment. Law enforcement is not enough, we need a plan for successful reintegration and treatment. We need to provide our law enforcement teams the tools and resources necessary for success. Creating the conditions for success will lead to a safer, more prosperous Clark County

A lot of people running for office have never attended all the agency events, city and county meetings, and spoke directly with people who are homeless to get a complete view of the situations, barriers, and resources missing to lift people out of poverty and prevent homelessness from continuing to happen to our neighbors.
Glen Yung, and his whole family, seem to be everywhere! They observe what action, and inaction, is taking place, and now he wants to be a part of leading the action.
Being likable isn’t being a leader. There are plenty of people running for office who are “liked” but Glen Yung isn’t trying to be likable….he is however loved.
While I am in a different district and cannot vote for him, I will encourage people who live in the city limits to vote for him. Our whole county council needs to be filled with people like that who roll up their sleeves and take action. Anybody who loves the status quo, and corruption, will not support this guy!
