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.

I mean you look at the Secure Fence Act, which was voted on by then-Senator Obama, then-Senator Clinton, then-Senator Schumer.
One of the things that President Trump said in California that I appreciated was that--he said that we need to be able to see through those fencing to see the threats that are coming up.
Is that going to be over the next 10 years enough for us to address this issue?
It is great to see that the number of days have gone down, but nobody can wait 10 months still to get a job.
