National Security

We must do everything we can to ensure service members, veterans, and their families are cared for in return for their service to our country. Proper defense budgeting ensures our soldiers are best equipped to get the job done. Maintaining the readiness of our military also ensures our national defense. Supporting South Jersey’s Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst not only supports our national security needs, but it also employs 44,000 civilians and military personnel.

I also have a personal commitment to the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East and the region’s only democracy. I am proud to serve on the Armed Services Committee to ensure our military, allies, and strategic partners can meet domestic and security threats to our shared democratic values.

Tonight, U.S. Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) voted to pass the Protecting Our Kids Act (H.R. 7910), a critical piece of legislation that he cosponsored and that would help reduce gun violence in the United States. According to new CDC data, guns are the number one killer of children in America – more than car accidents or cancer. Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than police officers in the line of duty and active-duty military combined.
