Rick Scott: “The President deserves his national security nominees today. Let me see if we will consider this one: Brandon Williams…”

“The President deserves his national security nominees today. Let me see if we will consider this one: Brandon Williams to be Under Secretary for Nuclear Security, Military Health System. Mr. Williams is a nuclear submarine officer. During his service, he made six strategic deterrence patrols, was a nuclear weapons safety officer, nuclear weapons security officer, and nuclear weapons radiological control officer. He is pretty competent. This role is responsible for the maintenance of a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear stockpile. Confirmation is critical to President Trump's "peace through strength and strategic deterrence" agenda. Hopefully, my colleague will see the wisdom in allowing this confirmation--this individual who is clearly qualified to be confirmed today.”
