On the recordMarch 26, 2019
Madam Speaker, the Department of Defense published a report revealing the dire impacts of the President's unlawful emergency declaration. It threatens to steal nearly $150 million of urgently needed Arizona military construction funds critical to the security of our Nation and the well-being of our men and women in uniform and military families. Both military bases within my district, Fort Huachuca and Davis- Monthan Air Force Base, are on the list that could be directly affected by these cuts, and I am here today to say, no way. I represent a border district in southern Arizona, and we don't want the expensive, ineffective wall. We want our military bases funded. Madam Speaker, 59 percent of Americans reject this emergency declaration. I will continue to take action to block this brutal decision and fight to protect Arizonans from the drastic consequences of this dangerous, unlawful declaration. ____________________
