Adam Smith has spent over two decades announcing federal grants for local police and fire departments while sponsoring gun-violence and immigration-detention legislation.4 He called the 2009 Lakewood police shooting a "senseless tragedy" and later co-introduced legislation addressing gaps in interstate supervision of convicted felons.2 His language later warned of federal overreach, calling the Los Angeles National Guard deployment a "dangerous escalation" and saying attacks on Democratic-run cities "comes off as partisan."2 Most recently he paired continued support for community crisis-response funding with the statement that "Fascism isn’t the answer" to crime.2
