My View: We Must Do Better

Statement

Dear Friend-

Passing Continuing Resolutions has become the norm in Washington for the past eight years. As global threats are increasing, our defense budget stands still. We continue to ask more and more of our men and women in uniform, and we in Congress must do our part to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful.

Despite the damage that CRs bring to our national defense and security, Congress just recently voted on yet another three-month short-term CR, which will fund our government through Dec. 8 but continue to hamstring our military in the process. I wrote an op-ed that was published in the Richmond Times Dispatch explaining how these short-term funding measures have been, and will continue to be, detrimental to our military and its readiness.

Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime an issue that concerns you comes before the House, especially if it concerns defense and national security.

It's an honor to serve you and Virginia's First District in the People's House.

Sincerely,

Rob
