As Sacramento County District Attorney, Thien has taken on violent crime, prosecuted sexual assault, homicides, gang violence, and hate crimes, and served as lead prosecutor in the Golden State Killer case. He believes public safety and civil rights go hand in hand.

In Congress, Thien will:
• Expand mental health and substance abuse treatment programs
• Invest in crime prevention and victim services
• Protect due process and constitutional rights

Safety cannot be built on fear or political theater. It must be rooted in trust, accountability, and fairness.
