In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Russia and China are attacking our critical infrastructure. Using sabotage, terrorism, and other underhanded tactics, they seek to weaken us below the threshold of all-out war. We must ensure we have the tools to counter this shadow warfare—this legislation provides that. I am grateful to partner with Ranking Member Shaheen, Senator Barrasso, and Ranking Member Meeks to advance this legislation.”
Wilson and Meeks Introduce 'Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026'Mar 27, 2026 · Official · joewilson.house.gov [Official] · source
“Putin's Russia is attacking countries all over the world with many forms of sabotage, terrorism, and blackmail. Its state-run "mercenary" outfits are the tip of the spear, generating chaos and misery everywhere they go. This is a major threat to U.S. national security—these organizations must be disabled. This bill provides President Trump the tools he needs to do so.”
Wilson Leads Bipartisan Alliance Introducing 'Holding Accountable Russian Mercenaries Act 2.0'Feb 10, 2026 · Official · joewilson.house.gov [Official] · source
“Voters made their mandate clear in November for a Republican House and Senate to now deliver the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' to Republican President Donald Trump for his signature, making it law on behalf of the American people.”
