Martha McSally
The Public Record
Martha McSally is a Republican politician from Arizona who served as a U.S. Senator from 2019 to 2020. She was the first woman to fly in combat for the U.S. Air Force and has a notable military background. McSally was elected to the House of Representatives in 2014, representing Arizona's 2nd congressional district, where she focused on issues such as national security and veterans' affairs. During her time in the Senate, she continued to advocate for military and defense issues, as well as border security and immigration reform.
In order to enhance situational awareness, we need to leverage technological force multipliers that provide persistent surveillance.
I authored the Border Security Technology Accountability Act that ensures border security programs are meeting costs, schedule, and performance thresholds.
Congress repeatedly asked a very simple question when it comes to border security: What will it take to gain situational awareness and operational control of the Southern Border?
I just want to say, again, this has unanimously passed in the House. It is being held up in the Senate.
I hope from, just your comments today and looking at the bill, that they would realize that this is a win for the taxpayers.
It took about 18 months. The Border Jobs for Veterans Act, which we passed, such as my bill, supposed to fast-track our veterans.
As long as it doesn't take 18 months for them to get a job. If we can get to that in less than 90 days and while they are still on active duty, that would be ideal.
