George Moyer for Long Beach City Prosecutor
A New Vision for Long Beach
-
CRIME PREVENTION
Address the root causes of crime including poverty, substance abuse, mental illness, military service, and homelessness through diversion programs and collaborations with City programs
-
RESPECT FOR VICTIMS AND DEFENDANTS
Treat victims and defendants with respect. Prioritize meeting the needs of victims and helping them heal. Understand why people offend and follow best practices to stop it from happening again.
-
ETHICAL AND EFFECTIVE PROSECUTION
Conduct criminal proceedings with dignity. Do not coerce pleas through the use of cash bail. Follow the rules of ethics. Give each case the time that it deserves. Hold the powerful accountable by aggressively prosecuting wage theft and building code violations.
Why I’m Running
I’m running for Long Beach City Prosecutor to make our City safer for all of us. While I love being a public defender, I can only help one person at a time within the constraints of the criminal legal system. As City Prosecutor, I can make Long Beach safer and more just. Instead of measuring success by the number of cases filed and the length of jail sentences, I will address the root causes of crime and make our community safer.
