Friend,
On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the
Japanese city of Hiroshima, effectively ending the Second World War.
But our triumph for democracy and the free world came at an unspeakable
cost. The devastation in Hiroshima, and then in Nagasaki soon after, is a
bleak reminder of the horrors of war. An event that will hopefully never
be repeated.
That’s why I support the United States’s leadership and commitment to the
non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
True security doesn’t look like the nation with the most might. It looks a
nation of healthy children with full bellies, attending schools safely. It
looks like a nation where everyone has access to quality health care and a
living wage. It looks like a nation that treats the men and women who
serve it with dignity and opportunities to advance in life.
At $800 billion, our defense budget is larger than that of the next 9
countries combined. That’s money that could be better spent building a
school, paying for insulin, or repairing a bridge. While the Pentagon
showers military contractors with millions of dollars, we have veterans at
home who are struggling to find housing or are unable to access
life-saving medicine. That’s why I voted against a $23.9 billion increase
in the defense budget above President Biden’s request.

invest in programs that help Americans.
