John,

 

Now that President Biden has taken the oath of office, it’s time for Congress
to take a hard look at his cabinet nominations to ensure that they are best
equipped to lead our country –– and I’d like your input on one nominee in
particular.

 

Retired Army General Lloyd Austin was tapped to lead the Pentagon despite the
law stating that recently retired generals should not serve in that political
role which was created for civilians.

 

That’s why today, Congress will vote on whether or not to exempt him from that
legal guardrail, and I plan to vote ”no.” I encourage you to read my op-ed in
theWall Street Journal to learn more.

While I respect and admire Gen. Austin’s record of service in uniform, I
believe that it’s in the best interest for our future national security and
strength to keep politics out of the military and vice versa.

 

But before I cast my vote on behalf of Northeast Wisconsin, I’d like to know
where you stand on this crucial issue, John.

Should Congress Exempt General Lloyd Austin
YES

NO

No matter who ends up serving as our nation’s defense secretary, they will be
faced with immense and historic challenges starting on day one –– from the
budget front here at home to the geopolitical front abroad with China and
Russia becoming increasingly more aggressive.

 

This is a decision that we cannot afford to get wrong, and that’s why I’m
asking for your feedback today on our survey, John. 

 

Do you think that Congress should exempt General Austin?
