The differences lie in their approach to dealing with the problem. Kloiber wants to introduce a steering committee through GVI which would be community led. He believes it would allow citizens to be more involved in policing and give officers a more direct approach to identifying people most likely to be involved in gun violence.
Gorton says GVI hasn’t been effective in other cities that use it. She plans to continue to forge ahead with an advisory committee created to address crime in the city, domestic violence in particular.
Mayor Gorton currently leads in the polls with less than three weeks to go before election day.
