Issue Position: Keeping You Safe

Issue Position

Keeping you safe is the most important function of government. The military not only protects us, but it is an institution of profound importance to the values of America. In an increasingly complicated world, the combination of strong defense, smart diplomacy, and sustainable development is the key to international stability and our own security.

As Nebraskans, we contribute significantly to our national security. Here at home we have secured major upgrades to Strategic Command and Offutt Air base, including a new headquarters and a new runway on the books. After the devastating floods of last year, we quickly worked to rebuild Offutt and replace critical infrastructure. As a commander told me: "By 2020 we will have a new car smell around here!"

​

We also must never forget our veterans who have sacrificed so much for us. Two new veterans clinics in Lincoln and Omaha are underway using innovative public/private partnerships.
