I am committed to ensuring that the federal government effectively protects Americans from terrorism, drug trafficking, cyber attacks, and other threats, while safeguarding our liberties and privacy. Our country faces a number of threats, and I will work to conduct vigorous oversight of the government’s response to those threats. We must be vigilant against all who would do harm to this country, but must ensure that we don’t sacrifice our freedom and liberty in the process.

Protecting our nation’s borders is one of the most pressing issues facing our nation. The increase in illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human smuggling is unacceptable. I will continue to work to secure our borders and ensure our existing laws are enforced.
