Press Release
Issues: Transportation Defense
"Scott Air Force Base is an asset both to Illinois and our nation as a whole. In speaking with General Van Ovost over the phone today, I learned more about the importance of TRANSCOM's leadership in our military's operations. As a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, I am invested in ensuring that our military stands ready to support transportation missions here at home while we also assist our NATO allies in protecting Ukraine."
