	Mike Kehoe on Crime

Don't want to defund the police; we want to protect them

[On police reform]: "The first one is working with communities and our police departments to get our communities safe again," he said. "We don't want to defund the police. We want to protect the police and give them the assets (they need). We want to make sure they have the right tools to make sure they can keep and get these communities back and safe."

Against policies that raise taxes, defund police departments

Kehoe said, "I want to make sure that we don't allow some of the crazy things that you're seeing on the other side of the aisle take place in Missouri." More specifically, he said he is against policies and programs that would expand government, raise taxes, defund police departments and be against capitalism or jobs.
