Promoting Safe Communities
Mickey
Channell knows that government can never take the place of parents
in raising children or take the place of families and churches in
teaching values. However, he believes that government has a
responsibility to help make communities safer for families and
children. He believes that our streets and communities should not
belong to criminals, but to the hardworking, law-abiding citizens in
this state. Mickey will continue working to make our communities
safer for families and children.
