Me: “Do you want to kill cartels?”
President Trump: “I definitely want to kill cartels”
That’s what President Trump told me at Mar-a-Lago just days before his second term began. Six months in, he's delivered on that promise.
Border crossings are at record lows. For the first time in years, Mexico City is going hard after cartels.
And I’ve been named Chairman of the Cartel Task Force in Congress-working directly with the Trump Administration to develop aggressive new tactics that will dismantle the cartels for good.
The Mexican drug cartels are the number one threat to the United States. The brutal tactics used by terrorist groups in Iraq and Afghanistan—the same ones I fought against—were modeled after cartels like Sinaloa and CJNG. This is a war, and we’re bringing the full weight of American power to win it.
But here’s the truth: defeating the cartels won’t happen overnight. It’s going to take years. And I’m ready to see it through—every step of the way. I’m in Congress for this mission.
But I can’t do it alone. I’m up against a crowded, well-funded primary. And our End of Quarter deadline is June 30. If you want someone in Congress with the experience and will to finish this fight, I need your help now.
