Issue Position: National Defense

Issue Position

Maintaining national security is one of the federal government's primary responsibilities under the Constitution. We must ensure the people of the United States are protected by providing for our common defense. But it's also important that we not forget our national debt of more than $22 trillion. Congress needs to work with the Pentagon to identify wasteful and duplicative programs that can be consolidated or removed in order to ensure our defense budget is being spent responsibly. My support for a strong national defense earned me a 100% from the American Security Council.
