  • "A strong military maintains the peace. The United States must remain engaged with the world, working cooperatively with our allies. Maintaining a strong military includes taking care of our men and women in uniform, as well as our veterans after their service in uniform is complete. Modern-day threats include cyber-attacks on our elections, banking, infrastructure, health, and financial systems. We must be prepared to defend against attacks on our democracy, whatever the method." (www.wadeherringforcongress.com)

These are all basic components that need to be modernized, in rural and urban areas." (www.wadeherringforcongress.com)
  • "We see the effects of coastal flooding in real-time: roads closed for hours, property damage, public infrastructure needing immediate repair. It's time we reduce these effects and protect our coast. Let's invest in protective infrastructure, and safeguard our environment. #gapol" (twitter.com)

The events of 2021 have demonstrated that we must have federal standards to protect early voting, mail-in voting, and voter registration. We must restore the Voting Rights Act. Voting rights should not be a partisan issue. Voting rights are what America is all about." (www.wadeherringforcongress.com)

The vast majority of Americans, including gun owners, agree on stronger background checks." (www.wadeherringforcongress.com)
