Daniel Donovan: “The United States is a leader in diplomacy and development, and that leadership helps keep Americans safe.”

I am disappointed that the fiscal year 2019 budget once again proposes to cut vital grant programs.

What have we learned from the tragedies that we have recently had in Texas and in Florida?

We must fully fund these grant programs particularly in light of the evolving terrorist threat.

We should address the homeland budget in the same manner as the administration looks at the Defense budget.
