Horn Calls for Vote on Bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform Amid Protests | 2020-06-02 | 2020 | 2020-06 | Democrat | House | OK | Kendra Horn | H001083 | horn.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Kendra Horn (OK-5) called on congressional leadership to bring bipartisan criminal justice reform legislation to the floor amid national protests against racism and police brutality. In a series of tweets available here, the Congresswoman stated: Words are not enough, we need action. That's why I'm fighting to pass my Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act. Police officers are often the first responders called to address mental health crises. Without adequate training the results can be tragic. In Edmond, OK, last year, Isaiah Lewis was killed while experiencing a mental health crisis. Police were called to respond. Despite being unarmed, Isaiah was tased then shot. His story is all too common in America. 1 in 4 people killed by police suffer from a mental illness. Protesters nationwide are again highlighting the immediate need for reforms. There's no single solution that will end injustice in our country. We need a multi-faceted strategy to end systemic racism and violence. I'm fighting for a vote on my bill as a piece of that strategy. Read a fact sheet and bill text on the Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act. The Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act was introduced by Congresswoman Kendra Horn and has 25 bipartisan cosponsors. The bill is endorsed by both the Fraternal Order of Police and the National Tactical Officers Association. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
