Safe Communities Through Accountability

Teri Ann Hourihan for AZ Governor. As Governor of Arizona, I will support laws that protect our children and keep our communities safe. I believe minors should be held accountable for their actions, and when a juvenile commits a serious offense that would be considered a violent or major felony if committed by an adult, our justice system must have the ability to impose appropriate consequences. While every case should be evaluated on its individual circumstances, I support ensuring that those who commit the most serious crimes can be prosecuted as adults when necessary to protect the public, deliver justice to victims, and uphold accountability under the law.
