In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I will not take a paycheck while TSA officers and many other federal employees are required to work without one. I am also calling on my colleagues in Congress to pass the Democratic bill to fund non-ICE and Border Patrol employees of the Department of Homeland Security immediately, so that working men and women of the TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA and other key agencies can be paid while the negotiations around new guardrails for ICE and Border Patrol continue.”

“For decades now, politicians have sent American service members to fight and die in the Middle East in wars of choice, not necessity. The Iranian people deserve freedom from their oppressive regime, but I am deeply skeptical that American troops should be sent to war in the Middle East in the absence of an immediate threat to our country yet again. I am monitoring the situation closely and praying for the safety of our troops and of innocent civilians throughout the region.”
