A strong military is a key component of protecting America’s national security. I support continuing to fund our military to provide the best defense necessary. Our nation’s security also depends upon our diplomatic and intelligence capacity, which have been gutted by the Trump administration. We must fully fund our diplomatic and intelligence agencies, such as USAID, and other non-military diplomatic efforts. Secure borders are a final part of national security that must be carefully managed. The United States must know who is coming into our country, and what they intend to do once they get here–which does not mean closed doors. We benefit from law-abiding people immigrating to our country, working, and paying into our system.
America’s government was designed to reject monarchy and prevent any one branch from gaining too much power. Our system of checks and balances protects individual liberty by ensuring Congress, the President, and the courts hold one another accountable. Today, Congress has failed to exercise that responsibility, allowing unchecked executive overreach on spending, war powers, and policymaking. As your Senator, I will ensure judicial appointees are qualified, demand accountability from the President and cabinet, and insist Congress reclaim its constitutional role over war and spending. I will fight to restore a balance of powers and push back against executive overreach that threatens our democracy and constitutional system.
The recent Supreme Court ruling struck down the part of the Voting Rights Act that helped ensure minority representation in Congress, but it did not prevent partisan gerrymandering. Now, states including South Carolina are rushing to redraw districts to predetermine election outcomes in favor of one party. That is wrong.
I oppose any effort to make voting harder for American citizens. Claims of widespread voter fraud have repeatedly been proven false, while restrictive laws disproportionately burden women, minorities, the poor, and people with disabilities. As Senator, I would oppose unfair redistricting efforts and support bipartisan commissions that draw fair districts and protect the voice of the people.
