Sam Brownback: “People are just appalled by it. Because they just go, you know, these things have been building.”

USAID should fund directly to independent religious organizations to do the good work that they have been doing.

Promotion of international religious freedom is in our national interest, and it directly supports national security priorities including the defeat of ISIS and other violent extremist groups.

The beauty of what this job has been I think under the prior administration and this one is that there are contentious issues that people do not agree upon.

I look forward to working with people, working with you, working with everybody, regardless of their ideas or views, on how we can advance the agenda of religious freedom.
