“We are facing important decisions about mental illness, substance abuse, and criminal justice, and Michael Lilliquist is wise enough to know that we should reject false either/or choices. He knows that the criminalization of behavioral and social problems worsens crime and decreases safety. I have seen up close that Michael thinks with his head and acts from his heart, and that’s why I support Michael’s re-election to the city council.”
