Christian Cochran

Florida State Director for Right On Crime

Cochran's policy and legislation experience came through a unique path, first serving as a Deputy Sheriff in the Florida panhandle and a Reservist in the United States Army Reserve. Cochran had his initial experience with legislation and policy as a two-year fellowship Wounded Warrior Fellow through the United States House of Representatives. This allowed him to spend time helping active-duty military and veterans. He then served as the Deputy Legislative Affairs Director for the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs. Before coming to Right on Crime, Cochran was Government Relations Manager for the Florida Court Clerks and Comptrollers. Outside of his role, Cochran continues to serve as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff in Florida.

Labor shortage? Supply chain chaos? Businesses around the nation face workforce shortages and often fail to retain the people they hire. Across the nation, there are more job openings than people applying. Meanwhile, millions of formerly incarcerated Americans who have served their time are struggling to find stable employment upon reentry to their communities. This takes a toll on Florida families and our economy. This Right On Crime Employer Forum in Tallahassee, FL, brought together Florida businesses and thought-leaders working to reduce recidivism, lower taxpayer costs, and make communities safer through second-chance hiring.
