As a former Navy Supply Officer and Aviation Logistics officer, I understand the multitude of challenges our men and women in uniform face each day on and off the battlefield.

Our great nation is undeniably indebted to the men and women who work and fight each day to ensure our country remains a beacon of democracy and freedom. However, we must acknowledge that our liberties and freedoms are constantly under attack and that we must always remain vigilant and prepared. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea remain the greatest foreign threats to our national security on several fronts. Additionally, we must be prepared to face the threats closer to home and at our borders.

I am committed to ensuring our armed forces have the tools and resources they need to protect our nation from all the threats we face. I am also committed to ensuring the families of our uniformed men and women have access to proper support and resources required to endure the sacrifices their loved ones make each day.
