John Spratt believes our country needs to stay strong, second to none as a military power.

From missile defense to military procurement, John has backed a strong but cost-effective defense. The Almanac of American Politics pinpoints him as "one of a handful who shape defense policy in the House."

A strong supporter of our troops, John helped pass a hike in hazardous duty and separation pay, fought for a waiver of premiums on servicemen's life insurance, and pushed for funding of family separation centers and low-interest loans for reservists on active duty.

Since coming to Congress, he has been a member of the House Armed Services Committee and worked each year to make Shaw Air Force Base a top notch base.
