National Security

National Security

As a member of the Senate Armed Services, Budget and Foreign Relations Committees, I am committed to strengthening America’s national security through a balance of our military, economic and diplomatic tools.  As we adapt to a dynamic and interconnected world, we must use all measures available to ensure stability and security, while maintaining a commitment to our values of freedom, democracy and human rights.

The demands of a complex world also require us to maintain our military readiness, technological capability and flexibility to meet our national security challenges. As Virginians, we are a proud home to every service branch, including the largest naval station in the world, premier Army, Marine Corps and Air Force installations and a robust Coast Guard presence. I understand the importance of strong and smart national security decisions, which is why I will carefully consider all options before making any decision to send our troops into harm’s way.

Our national security directly affects every American citizen.  I am committed to providing the best quality resources to our military and their families, developing the long-term health of our economy, enhancing relationships with international partners and staying true to our nation’s core values.
