Issue Position: War on Terror

Terrorism, particularly Radical Islamic terrorism, is the strategy of an enemy unlike any we have ever faced, more sinister, more aimed at civilians, more willing to die in its hateful cause. Jeff is absolutely committed to fighting and winning the global War on Terror, defending the liberty, principles, and way of life that have for our entire history made America the envy of the globe and the most desired place for immigrants to come. He knows that this war is a long one, maybe without ever having an obvious end, but also that it is critical that we stand and fight when and where we know the enemy is.

Despite the desire of some to cave in to political pressure and retreat now, Jeff knows that were the US to abandon its mission it would embolden al Qaeda and its followers for generations to come. When faced with an enemy who understands nothing but force and is absolutely willing to die for their cause, the only responsible option is to help them fulfill that willingness.

Having served as a congressional military aide, Jeff spent years working with Congress, the Pentagon, and both the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, as well as with the leadership of Fort Carson and other military bases in Colorado. Jeff had demonstrated leadership in getting our military the tools they need to do the job and our military families the support they need and deserve as they sacrifice so much so that we don't have to. Jeff will continue to work tirelessly on both those goals in order to help our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen defeat those who wish us harm.
