These gangs bring drugs like fentanyl, crack, and meth, into our communities and schools, force children to join the gang, and coerce women into prostitution under the threat of violence.

They target local Hispanic-owned businesses (restaurants, construction crews, landscapers) and demand protection money (“la renta”) or threatening those who refuse.

Republicans are committed to protecting families, businesses, and neighborhoods. We will remove violent criminals from our streets and stand with law-abiding neighbors who work hard to build a better future.
