“We have 22 federally recognized tribes and of course they, like anywhere else, deserve to have just as much safety as anyone that lives in the Buckeyes, Phoenix and Tucson of the world. I actually wrote a bill, a bipartisan bill called the Badges act to increase resources for tribal law enforcement. to help them recruit, train law enforcement, especially some from the tribal communities that they're from. And of course we're going to continue to make sure that this is an affordable place to live for our first responders.” (08:13–08:20)
