He says his work in Washington supported grants for local law enforcement and that he would never vote to defund the police. This is personal for me. Unlike my opponent, I actually come from a law enforcement family, so my mom served as a probation officer in Tioga county for nearly 20 years and I'm not going to defund my mom. Riley says he has deep local roots with national experience. And he won't be compromised by powerful special interests because he's refusing to accept campaign donations from corporate political action committees. (02:40–02:53)
