Issue Position: National Security
I believe we must do a better job ensure that our ports, nuclear and chemical plants, and other sensitive facilities are secured against attack. I also increased funding for our first responders to keep our communities safe. In the legislature, I have voted to increase pay for first responders and will continue to work closely with all our local officials to ensure our communities are prepared for attacks.
Additionally, I believe part of protecting our national security is securing our borders and cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
