National Defense
As a retired U.S. Navy SEAL with multiple combat tours and a total of 26 years of military service, I know how critical it is for the United States to have a robust military and strong national defense strategy. Our nation faces great challenges from adversaries around the world including the Chinese Communist Party, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I'm working to ensure the DoD is laser-focused on defending our freedoms and protecting the interests of the United States and our allies. We must have a military that supports our servicemembers, boosts our national security and defense priorities, deters our adversaries, and most importantly, projects a single message of strength.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out an unprovoked attack on Israel, brutally murdering the Jewish people at a level not seen since the Holocaust. As a Member of Congress, I have a duty to hold those accountable who refuse to condemn Hamas or the genocide of our Jewish friends. I am an unwavering advocate for Israel and their right to exist, and will continue to be a strong voice for them in Washington.
