John,
The Secretary of Defense is entrusted with overseeing the most powerful military in the world. It’s a position that demands expertise, sound judgment, and a steadfast commitment to our nation’s security.
Trump’s nominee Pete Hegseth is unqualified to lead the Department of Defense.
His resume? Co-host of Fox News’ “ Fox & Friends Weekend .” His record? A disturbing history of allegations, including sexual assault, mistreatment of female colleagues, and opposition to women serving in combat roles. His own mother has called his character into question.
Yet for Donald Trump, none of that matters. For him, the only qualification necessary for this important role is loyalty to his personal agenda of revenge – not our security, our troops, or the integrity of our nation’s defense.
We need to ensure the Senate blocks Pete Hegseth’s confirmation. If you’re with Marilyn in fighting back against this Trump Cabinet pick and demanding qualified, competent leadership at the Pentagon, add your name below >> [[link removed]]

As a member of the Armed Service Committee who represents Joint Base Lewis McChord, Marilyn knows how much is at stake with this nomination.
Let’s make sure the Senate hears loud and clear that the American people are demanding a Secretary of Defense who is the most qualified – not a political loyalist with a questionable record.
Add your name today if you stand with Marilyn against this Trump Cabinet Pick. [[link removed]]
Thank you,
