### Safety and antisemitism There is no public record of Jennifer Davis making specific statements or taking actions regarding antisemitism.
In a joint candidate forum reported on February 3, 2026, when a primary opponent questioned the religious views of another candidate in the race who is Jewish, Davis emphasized interfaith respect, stating, "I'm proud of my faith... I'm unapologetic over that, but that doesn't diminish or devalue any of [my opponent's] beliefs or anyone else's. We are a melting pot of a country".
On general public safety, her official campaign platform as of 2026 focuses on state and local crime, advocating to "restore the rule of law, enforce existing laws, and bring back safety" to Illinois communities. Her public platform does not explicitly mention antisemitism or religious hate crimes.
