Issue Position: Safeguarding Our National Security

Issue Position

Our national security depends on a number of factors -- such as our role and reputation as an international leader, our diplomatic influence, and our military strength. As an international election observer in Afghanistan, I've seen firsthand how other countries view our government as a template to achieve democracy and equality. A secure America is an America that has defeated ISIS and other extremists, that has stopped Iran from developing nuclear weapons, that holds other countries accountable for trade violations and acts of cyberterrorism, and that builds new relationships to promote the values which make our country a leader in the international community.
