Issue Position: Protecting Our Country and Fighting Terrorism

Issue Position

I am committed to protecting our core values as Americans, and as a member of Congress, Homeland Security will be one of my top priorities. The realities of terrorism have hit New Yorkers too close to home, and we have endured more than a decade of post-traumatic stress after the attacks on 9/11 by extremists motivated by hatred and bloodshed. In order to ensure our future well-being and establish peace and stability in the Middle East, we must impose a multi-pronged strategy to curbing the growth of terrorist organizations, and stopping the spread of extremist values at home and abroad.

As your Congressman, I will be committed to fighting terrorism at home and around the world by thwarting immediate threats to our safety and security. I will work tirelessly with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to prevent radicalization here in the United States, and will collaborate with our allies in the Middle East and Europe to destroy ISIS, counter international terrorist threats, and assert long-term, sustainable peace and stability over our allies' territories.
