Elaine is holding Secretary of Defense Mark Esper accountable for allowing critical deficiencies to go unanswered:

Elaine's tweet: "The lack of urgency displayed by @EsperDoD to rectify the 40 percent readiness rate of our surge fleet and address the Ford Class Fiasco is mind boggling. Instead of acknowledging my letter addressing this, perhaps this tweet to his boss, @RealDonaldTrump will."

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, one of Elaine's responsibilities is to provide Congressional oversight on our military -- making sure our armed forces are in fighting shape and ensuring our taxpayer dollars are used as effectively as possible.

And she's getting results:

Forbes: "Representative Luria's relentless legislative pressure has been recognized throughout the Navy, and her fighting spirit and willingness to subject naval leaders to tough questioning has helped bring about the beginnings of real change in the Fleet."

Now, as a 20-year Navy veteran and former Navy Commander, Elaine is holding Secretary of Defense Esper accountable for downplaying serious failures in his department and offering gimmicky catchphrases over real solutions.

But Secretary Esper hasn't even acknowledged receiving Elaine's letter. Let's make sure he listens: Add your voice to stand with Elaine and hold the Secretary of Defense accountable >>
