“Peace through strength has always been the cornerstone of American leadership.
“Our nation and our way of life are under threat from authoritarian regimes like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, along with their terrorist proxies. These regimes are destabilizing regions, spreading violence and challenging American interests both abroad and here at home. Now more than ever, we must invest in our military’s readiness and lethality.
“As someone who proudly served in the Air National Guard, I understand the importance of a strong national defense and have championed efforts in Congress to support our servicemembers, ensuring they have the means to succeed. I’ve pushed back against foreign influence and introduced multiple amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act that have been signed into law, ensuring our Armed Forces remain the most advanced fighting force in the world and that our adversaries understand the consequences of threatening the United States or our allies.”
