Derek Kilmer: “I appreciate the Navy's goal of increasing readiness to counter threats from our adversaries like Russia and China.”

I was proud to introduce the BUDS Resolution along with Representative Young Kim, who, in an ideal world, would be listed as a lead sponsor as well.

These retreats will allow us to identify areas of mutual concern and agreement.

My hope is, regardless of which party holds the gavels, that that Subcommittee continues, because the work of institutional improvement needs to continue.
