Janice Hahn: “I think port security is crucial. I still feel like our ports are really some of our most vulnerable entryways into this…”

I certainly want to make our aid more efficient and accountable, but not if it means compromising a critical industry for our national security.

My colleagues and I in the Transportation Committee, both Democrats and Republicans, decided to address this injustice in May when we passed a bipartisan bill that included the provision to finally take the harbor maintenance trust fund…

That is unconscionable, and we cannot allow those kind of barriers in 2020 to continue to exist.

If there was ever something to happen at our port, it would not only cripple the regional economy, the national economy, it would cripple the global economy.
