Election Day is 7 days away and Texas voters still don’t know who MJ Hegar is
-- let alone her policy plans. The latter is a result of her refusal to dive
deeper into policy discussions, or – when held to account – flat-out denial of
her past comments.

 

Today we look at: MJ’s Dangerous ‘Campaign Zero’ Plan

 

MJ’s entire criminal justice/police reform plan is based on “Campaign Zero.”
It’s on herwebsite <[link removed]>, her Twitter
<[link removed](from%3Amjhegar)&src=typed_query>
feed, and is a go-to talking point. But two-clicks into its website shows that
Campaign Zero advocates radical policies -- including decriminalizing
prostitution, trespassing and loitering.

 

Campaign Zero’s co-founder, DeRay Mckesson, is an avid proponent of abolishing
the police. “Ultimately, we need abolition, to replace the systems that harm us
with ones that heal us;” “We stand with those reimagining public safety without
police;” and “It is possible to abolish the police — an institution that is one
of the remnants of enslavement.” (On The Path Toward Police Abolition
<[link removed]>,
6/5/20) His co-founder, Samuel Sinyangwe, has this to say: “It’s not just about
harm reduction, it’s about how do we move towards transformational change that
goes beyond changing use-of-force policies but includesbuilding alternatives to
the police and defunding the police.” 

 

MJ denies knowledge of the above, which is either 1) alarming that a U.S.
Senate candidate has done little-to-no research on her sole resource for a
policy platform; or 2)a lie.

 

Caught in the latter, MJ tries another tactic: Say that Campaign Zero’s
platform must have changed without her knowledge. Yet a high-profile component
of the platform embraced by the likes of Oprah and Ariana Grande, called
#8CANTWAIT, was launched at the height of MJ’s embrace of Campaign Zero (

While this was front-and-center on Campaign Zero’s website, MJ said:

* “We need policing reform. I support proposals outlined in Campaign Zero.”
(Remarks At A Fort Bend Young Democrats Virtual Town Hall, 6/24/20)
* “I support proposals that are outlined in places like Campaign Zero” (
Interview With Left In Texas <[link removed]>,
6/29/20)
* “I have long since been a vocal advocate for Campaign Zero” (Progress Texas
Happy Hour, 7/3/20)
* “I support proposals that are outlined in places like Campaign Zero…”
(Rolling Stone, 8/14/20)
 
Every town, every city, every community in Texas has a law enforcement
presence and – as a result –every Texan ought to know about the radical
platform MJ has adopted as her criminal justice policy.
