As governor, my goal will be to not lose a single child to abuse or neglect. There is no legitimate reason for this to happen. I will conduct an exhaustive nationwide search for the best people to head up Child Protective Services. We must spare no expense to have the best CPS agency in the nation. We will increase the number of staff and provide all of the support that they need. The state government’s failure to see to it that all of our children are properly cared for is a prime example of putting politics before people. The health and safety of our children must come before all else. When we err, we must always err on the side of the child.
