“There’s a huge misconception that a law enforcement background is needed to become Erie County Sheriff. For decades, the law enforcement mindset has driven Erie County jails and communities into a state of despair. What’s needed for true progressive change is an outsider that is a humanitarian, visionary, and a caring leader.” ‍– Myles Carter

Ending Crime

Science has proven that crime is directly correlated to economics.  People will commit crime out of necessity.  Our platform targets the root cause of crime, poverty.

United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent 

The United Nations recognizes the injustices committed against people of African Descent.  We are not at the moment where we need to focus on the blame, but focus on the solutions.

End Mass Incarceration

Incarceration in Erie County is a $100m business.  We are massively overspending on incarcerating people from our community with no focus on reform or rehabilitation.  Our platform focuses on taking the steps necessary to ensure the convicted are no reoffending.

Police Brutality

Under Executive order 203 issued by Andrew Cuomo, we will work directly with the community to ensure that policing is reinvented to a representation of what the community needs.  Focus on building trust and partnership with the community.

Education

Proactively engage youth through community building and education to educate on drugs, guns, violence, domestic violence and ensuring our youth are equipped with the knowledge necessary to make better decisions.

Community Building

Fund our communities to have safe roads and sidewalks, functioning parks, good schools and a fully functioning social safety net that ensures residents of Erie County are not left in a situation of necessity.

Ending Solitary Confinement

ACLU – “Long-term isolation costs too much, does nothing to rehabilitate prisoners, and exacerbates mental illness - or even causes it in prisoners who were healthy when they entered solitary.”

George Floyd, Cariol Horne, and the Duty to Intervene Law

democracynow.org: "...[Cariol] Horne organized a campaign to pass Cariol’s Law” in Buffalo, New York. The law codifies the duty to intervene for police officers, whether on-or off-duty, when they see another officer using unreasonable force against a civilian. It also protects those officers who intervene from retaliation. As the protests sparked by George Floyd’s police killing swept the globe, the Buffalo City Council passed Cariol’s Law, and the mayor signed it into law. The Buffalo law also allowed officers who previously suffered retaliation to seek redress, which Cariol Horne did."
