Crystal Loughran Candidate for the House of Representatives in the 76th District
When elected I will find funding to hire more Police. Our State Police need to go on the offensive with hundreds of more troopers assigned to task forces for: Drug interdiction on highways, undercover drug agents, State gang units, gun trace units dedicated to violent felons, cold case squads to solve open homicides, public corruption units.
CRIME: 1,487 homicides in 2021 in the State of Illinois. Because of lax criminal enforcement, violent crimes are on the rise. Illinois is the hub of the Sinaloa drug cartel feeding drugs to all the states. Gang enrollment is up. Most violent offenses including carjackings are committed by minors. Chicago is suffering the most because of lack of action by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. In Chicago alone only 25% of homicides are solved with only half (12.5%) going to prison for murder.

HB3653: The Safe-T act is responsible for criminalizing Police while giving a pass to criminals. We need to repeal HB3653 and replace it with a bill creating more penalties for offenders. We need stiffer sentencing guidelines giving criminals more jail time and the possibility of criminals seeing up to 80% of their sentences. Currently we are releasing too many criminals that are not in accordance with their sentence. We need to reinstate the death penalty. We need more funding for prisons. We need to scale down home monitoring. This program proves to be ineffective. It's an expensive program and it is using more Police resources as these offenders escape.
As your grassroots candidate, this past Tuesday evening I attended a standing room only meeting held at Jamie's OutPost Parlor/Mix's Trading Post with special guest LaSalle County State's Attorney- Joe Navarro and LaSalle County Sheriff- Adam Diss. Joe Navarro gave powerful testimony on PICA- Protect Illinois Community Act and the impact the law has on Illinois and its law-abiding citizens. Adam Diss mentioned Shaw Media downplaying the number of criminals released from his jail. Both men stand tall with law abiding gun owners in the State of Illinois. The gun registry isn't going well for Governor Pritzker. The People have had a belly full.
