If confirmed, I will work with Malawian, American, and international partners to combat human trafficking and other human rights violations.

I appreciate the confidence the President and my colleagues at the Department of State have shown in me through this nomination.

The United States has enjoyed decades of close collaboration with the Malawian military, and their defense force's apolitical posture following last year's--the 2019 election had a huge impact on the transition to democracy.

If you really want to see the agriculture and rural economy boom, it is going to be through broadband and communications.

A veteran in need cannot wait for help and any incident where a veteran has trouble with the Veterans Crisis Line is simply unacceptable.

This is why I introduced this bill, to honor and thank our veterans, and let them know America supports them.

Veterans deserve more - they deserve quality, effective mental health care.

Inasmuch as the provisions of this bill are straightforward and entirely logical, it has the support of VVA.

This bill requires the VA to create and implement documented plans to improve responsiveness and performance of the crisis line.

Veterans deserve more. They deserve quality, effective mental health care.
