Keep Merced County Safe, Vote Yes on Measure R

Merced County is currently grappling with a pressing public safety crisis that demands our immediate action.

The Merced County Sheriff's Office faces substantial challenges in responding to residents' needs, while Merced County will see the closure of multiple fire stations this year, both due to inadequate staffing. Today, public confidence in our first responders' ability to answer emergency or crime calls in a timely manner is low.

Measure R is not just a solution; it's a lifeline. It will provide the necessary revenue to keep Merced County safe, significantly improving response times, saving lives and property. Measure R's revenue will be under local control, ensuring it supplements, not replaces, existing public safety funds.

Benefitting all Merced County residents, Measure R will add more Sheriff and Fire personnel, bolster funding for the county jail and the District Attorney's office while providing public safety grants to all six of Merced County's incorporated cities.

Passing Measure R will improve public confidence in local government by mandating the county to be more transparent. An independent Citizen Oversight Committee will hold Merced County accountable, conducting annual audits while reviewing all budgets and expenses to ensure that Measure R money is used responsibly. The Oversight Committee's findings will be posted online for residents to review.

A YES vote on Measure R will prevent crime, reduce emergency response times and keep our neighborhoods safe. To end this public safety crisis, Measure R is essential. Please join families, educators, business owners, farmers, and first responders in supporting Measure R.
