Spoke at an attorney general candidate forum in Providence hosted by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island. He said police should be able to use Flock license plate cameras, saying he wants police able to track a criminal who is after him. He said he backs attacking organized antisemitism with subpoenas, which are orders demanding records, plus seizing assets tied to crime and referring cases to federal prosecutors. He said better hate crime tracking needs more training for police and prosecutors, changes in the law, and public education. On elections, he called for stricter rules and closer checks of voter rolls.
