Emilia Sykes Doubles Down on Soft-on-Crime Lunacy

Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes just voted against the DC Crimes Act, once again choosing her soft-on-crime policies over protecting our nation’s communities.

The commonsense bill blocks the D.C. Council from weakening criminal sentences, ends the absurd practice of letting 24-year-old offenders be treated as “youths,” and forces transparency by requiring public reporting of youth crime data – yet Sykes just voted against it.

This isn’t the first time Sykes has chosen criminals over public safety. Her record speaks for itself:

• Voted against putting an end to the D.C. Council’s sanctuary policies.
• Voted against condemning the violent riots that have taken place in Los Angeles, California and expressing gratitude to law enforcement officers and ICE agents for their work in keeping America safe.

“This is a clear and concerning pattern: out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes will always side with soft-on-crime, far-left radicals over safer communities. It’s dangerous and absurd, but par for the course for Sykes.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
