Criminal Justice Reform
Our criminal justice system is deeply flawed, infected with bias, and in urgent need of reform on a statewide and national level. This isn’t something Averhart had to be taught, it’s something he’s always understood. Growing up with a stroller-eye view of the civil rights movement, his parents instilled in him the belief that justice was something you had to fight for.
Averhart will commit to be a voice for people who need an advocate and to make changes to the system from within.
As Congressman, Averhart will continue to fight for end-to-end criminal justice reform. To ensure accountable and constitutional policing, he will fight to increase the civil rights division, renew and expand pattern and practice investigations, enforce consent decrees, and support legislation to end racial profiling.
