James E. Risch: “The American people need a State Department that is fully capable of advancing interests and values of all Americans.”

the United States has been a partner of Georgia for 30 years now, supporting its democracy, its self-determination, its security, and it is a relationship that has been based on shared values.

As we celebrate 250 years of Independence, we must remember the sacrifices made to secure it and recommit ourselves to the ideals that have defined our great nation for centuries: freedom, faith, hard work, equality, and the Rule of Law.

I am proud of the work we did together to permanently authorize the Global Magnitsky authority.

Autocrats fear the loss of control, and this ensures opposing ideas are neither seen nor heard.
