Nebraska State Senator Brad Ashford, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Pennsylvania State Representative Cherelle Parker discuss crime issues at an event in New York in early May sponsored by State Legislators Against Illegal Guns. Senator Ashford is a co-chair of this organization and spoke to the group on the crime situation in Omaha and the crime bill the Nebraska Legislature was considering (and has since adopted into law).

State Senator Brad Ashford addresses a press conference in south Omaha on Monday, June 1 regarding the recently adopted Crime Bill by the Nebraska Legislature. The Crime Bill (LB 63) is the first comprehensive crime bill in many years and will provide stiffer penalties for gun crimes, gang recruitment, graffiti and other violent offenses.
