As a U.S. Army veteran, I remain a committed advocate for the men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Congress must enact laws that ensure our troops have what they need to train, fight, and succeed. I voted for pay increases for our troops. I remain concerned by military recruitment challenges and believe that we need to do more to ensure we have full and strong forces prepared to counter global threats as needed. I’ve fought against indoctrination of progressive ideologies and the implementation of DEI within the military, including COVID vaccine mandates on our active duty servicemembers and Cadets/Midshipmen at our nation’s military academies. I oppose any use of Pentagon funding for abortion-related expenses. My office is an annual leader in recruiting and nominating the best and brightest FL-17 high school students to serve at our nation’s prestigious military academies.
