Statement From Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on Raise The Age

March 7, 2017

Raise the Age

“Let’s be clear, no half-measures or watered down options will really help our kids. Raise The Age must be more than a slogan or a way to score political points and headlines. Our criminal justice system needs REAL reform and there are too many plans being floated around that are simply watered-down, half-measures and those cannot be considered real Raise the Age.”
