Issue Position: Working to Cut Wasteful Government Spending

Issue Position

Mike also serves on the Committee on Homeland Security. In his effort to streamline the Department, Mike has been critical of the Transportation Security Administration's intrusive screening methods, wasteful spending and failure to adopt a more risk-based approach. Mike has made securing our borders a key part of the Committee's agenda and works continuously to help improve FEMA's disaster response. Ensuring rural first responders are treated fairly by Washington is one of Mike's top priorities, as is his strong advocacy for the Center for Domestic Preparedness located in Anniston, Alabama.
