For most of her career and through the duration of her presidential campaign, Amy Klobuchar, formerly a prosecutor in the state of Minnesota, has been respected for her "tough on crime" policies that appeal to middle-ground Democratic voters.

"There was a 65% decrease in incarceration of African-Americans when you go from the beginning of my term to the end," Klobuchar told CNN last year.
