I strongly support America's service members and am
committed to providing them with the tools and equipment necessary to defend
and protect the Nation. I will also work on behalf of the families of
brave military men and women on issues such as healthcare, housing and other
factors impacting quality of life. I
support a base Defense Budget that at the very minimum matches 4 percent of
gross domestic product. We owe our
active duty, reserve, and National Guard service men and women no less than our
full support for their sacrifice on behalf of our country. As Co-chair of the Congressional Shipbuilding
Caucus, I will work to ensure that our Navy maintains global maritime dominance
by supporting a 313-ship Navy as a floor and by maintaining an active and
healthy shipbuilding industrial base.
