Sam Brownback: “I hope you will lean in and watch that all groups are taken care of on this, and it doesn't just favor one group over…”

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 would continue the policies that have been done in the prior administration in working on these international issues.

I pledge to you my work to press the Government of India to be a government that honors religious freedom for everybody.
